I remember when Song for Zula started playing after the last scene, I bursted into tears. Something hit me hard. There's this nostalgic feeling in his films that I can always relate to. Love this film.
SAME!! And it’s not a sad ending. I was shocked with myself bc of that, I’m not the kind of person that cries with movies, but… THE SONG, that song is somehow special for me and yeah, I definitely got hit with a lot of nostalgia 😢
I first saw I Killed My Mother in 2011 as a 13-year-old, and this film opened new worlds for me. Not only could I 100% relate to the main character (and interestingly, in this regard not being myself a homosexual did not matter at all), for the first time I also perceived cinema as a form of art and realised what films can actually be. At that point, I became Xavier's greatest fan and always waited enthusiastically for news about his upcoming film projects. It was on my birthday in 2012 (May 18) when Laurence Anyways premiered at Cannes, and I remember the whole day checking my computer to see the first reviews being published. After that, I had to wait for more than a year to finally see the film when it was released in German theatres. It was worth the wait, though; Laurence Anyways is to this day my absolute favorite film.
Hey look how humble is this wonderful perfect artist! 😌 He always chooses Max but everyone knows Max was way stronger than Matt in coping with the truth and the problems and managing the life and relationships! Dear Xavier! I know I'm too late and 3 years passed but I'm sooo obsessed with this film and I really request you to think about writing and making the 2nd MatMax story! and show more about every character and what happened then... I know you always wanna move forward and make different films but this movie needs to be continued! please make it! 🙏🏼🥺 Love you Xavier💌
I never even heard of mubi until Xavier announced it was going to be on this platform. I can't wait to see more of his work. Plus it introduced me to mubi its great
Realmente amo demasiado está película , es tan buena qué sabía que no podía verla de golpe , veía media hora y la dejaba para otro día . Necesito más películas de Dolan así .
J’ai lu quelque part que Xavier Dolan lisait tous les reviews de ses films et que, dans le désarroi, il a décidé de ne plus tourner de films - car, dans un monde qui brûle, raconter des histoires semble un manque de sérieux. Non, Xavier Dolan tu as tort. Ce petit bijou d’un film, avec son indicible retenue et sa délicatesse lumineuse, devient encore plus important dans un monde qui a perdu… ses “repères” et qui a tellement besoin de compassion. "Only connect” comme disait le grand E M Forster. Ce gentil Maxime, souffrant d’incompréhension, a besoin de quelqu’un qui raconte son histoire - qui va la raconter si ce n’est Xavier Dolan? Ce pauvre refoulé, Matthias - il a besoin de quelqu’un qui corrige ses manques de vérité - qui va le sauver de lui-même si ce n'est le cinéaste qui le met sur l’écran? Notre monde est rempli de Maximes et de Matthias - mais si peu d’entre nous est capable de nous livrer leurs histoires avec autant de pudeur et de douceur. Merci Xavier Dolan de l’avoir fait - tu nous as donné un film qui est à la fois vrai, sans feintise et rempli de compassion. Merci! "...Do not let me hear Of the wisdom of old men, but rather of their folly, Their fear of fear and frenzy, their fear of possession, Of belonging to another, or to others, or to God. The only wisdom we can hope to acquire Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless..." T S Eliot - East Coker
