Trailer
Why watch this film?
Unfortunately, family context tends to be often oppressive, heavy, and claustrophobic. We are judged by our choices, decisions, feelings, and attitudes - in a spiral of resentment that permeates throughout our lives. In this movie, Xavier Dolan visits these feelings in an almost theatrical manner, with long dialogues and great performances. If you are looking to do some self-therapy and assess your own relationship with family, here is a great start.

Mommy
A powerful story between a mother and her son, with a suffocating realism yet tempered with humor. The result is a very interesting film, blending pop music, quick dialogue and great direction. Certainly many mothers will identify with the protagonist.
Matthias & Maxime
Xavier Dolan (director of 'Mommy' and 'Juste la Fin du Monde') knows how to insert taboos that need to be broken in his films, and with 'Matthias et Maxime', we again see the filmmaker's shrewdness. The production very well discusses fragile masculinity - which is usually discussed by women and not by those who should be talking about it - and brings something very new, a very different view from what we are used to seeing in other cinematic works. Dolan made a unique montage, as well as all the direction - which manages to convey what the actors are feeling very well.
Drama
O Rio do Desejo
It follows three brothers as they end up living under the same roof with the middle brother's beautiful new wife.
Johnny
Love for the world and other people and about the fact that everyone deserves a second chance. When Patryk receives it from a priest Jan Kaczkowski does not even suspect how it will change his life.
Lost Transport
In the spring of 1945 a train deporting hundreds of Jewish prisoners gets stranded near a small German village occupied by the Red Army. Condemned to each other and in a context of deep mistrust, desperation and revenge, an unexpected friendship emerges between Russian sniper Vera, village girl Winnie and Jewish-Dutch woman Simone.
