ストーリー
Closet Monster follows Oscar Madly, a creative and sexually confused teenager living in Newfoundland and Labrador. Haunted by traumatic memories from his childhood, Oscar retreats into a fantasy world to cope with his sense of isolation. His journey revolves around escaping his hometown and coming to terms with his sexuality while navigating the challenges of bullying and rejection.
概要
Closet Monster is a semi-autobiographical drama directed by Stephen Dunn in 2015. The film explores themes of bullying, sexual identity, and self-discovery through the lens of its protagonist, Oscar Madly, played by Connor Jessup. Set against the backdrop of Newfoundland and Labrador, the story underscores the struggles of LGBTQ+ youth in dealing with isolation and rejection. Dunn's unique approach, featuring an animal spirit guide named Buffy, adds a fantastical element to the otherwise grounded narrative.
