- Xavier Dolan joins us for an in-depth discussion of his filmography.
Xavier Dolan is a French Canadian actor, writer and director, whose first three films - J'ai tué ma mère, Heartbeats and Laurence Anyways - have the distinction of all opening at the Cannes Film Festival.
Xavier was in Toronto for the 2013 Canadian Screen Awards, where his most recent film, Laurence Anyways, won two awards. He joined us at Oddseoul the day before the ceremony to candidly discuss the film in great depth, contextualizing it within his other work, and discussing his next two films - including Tom à la ferme, which was the first Quebec film to play the Venice International Film Festival in nearly 30 years. We also touch briefly on how he looks back at his first two features: I Killed My Mother (J'ai tué ma mère) and Heartbeats (Les amours imaginaires). His subsequent features include Mommy and It's Only the End of the World (Juste la fin du monde)

this interview felt like that bad tinder date where one party was treacherously deceived by the other person's profile pic.

Despite the limitations of the interviewer (and the unfriendly choice of a visually interesting but uncomfortably cold interior), these are 48 fascinating minutes of director/writer Xavier Dolan expanding in a stream of thought manner on his craft and his early films. He is open, generous and disarmingly modest. He is also willing to share that his craft is primarily visual in its presentation and continually evolving. In fact, for me, despite his cringing at what he sees in hindsight as “mistakes” made in his early films, the most interesting part of this interview was to observe Dolan’s own witnessing of his evolution as he both explores different material and experiments with different effects during filming. Above all, he loves what he is doing - seven films in seven years testifies to his devotion to filming - and even ending this exchange of cinema reflections was cause for a quick lament.
the start feels so awkward
His laughter😍
Some subtitles would be helpful. ✌🏼
This interviewer is really awful, monotonous interview
Yes. I couldn't get through it.
