Hello
everyone.
For
this first post on a blog since my 14 years old, I am going to talk to one of
the best discoveries of the canadian cinema of these last years : Xavier
Dolan.
I
know some of you hated his last film, Les
Amours Imaginaires, but we will come back on this topic later.
Today,
I would like to introduce some news about Dolan, who’s new movie, Laurence Anyways is strongly sensed to
be presented on Cannes’ festival, in may.
Let’s
remember that Xavier Dolan had already presented Les Amours Imaginaires in 2010 in the category « Un certain
regard », and in 2009, his first film J’ai
tué ma mère presented at « La Quinzaine des Réalisateurs »
obtained three prices.
Will
Laurence Anyways be selected in the official competition ? It is too early
to know, but a first teaser is available on the internet since the beggining of
the week. In this new story written by our favorite canadian hipster, Melvil
Poupaud (grrrrr !) is playing a man who wants to become a woman… Nathalie
Baye is playing Melvil Poupaud’s mother, who will have to accept this sexual
transformation, and see his son becoming his daughter…
Even
if this teaser is, in my opinion, way too long (three minutes), and tells too
much of the story, this is still a good overview of Xavier Dolan’s talents.
Let’s
hope that Thierry Frémaux will soon announce the selection of the film in this
2012 official selection, chaired by Nanni Moretti.
So, what do you think about these first images, and do you expect this Dolan's new masterpiece as much as I do?
