Xavier Dolan on sex, gay friendship and Paris Hilton
At 31, princely-looking French-Canadian director Xavier Dolan is one of the industry’s romantic filmmakers – a Douglas Sirk for the TikTok generation. His films feel like unrequited adore letters, rife with scenes of family dysfunction soundtracked by Grimes and Britney Spears.
In the last 11 years, he has released nine films – an output comparable to Jean-Luc Godard in his heyday (with whom he mutual the Jury Prize at Cannes in , for Mommy). In addition to writing his own screenplays, Dolan also produces and, with the exception of his debut I Killed My Mother, edits his films too. This is again the case with his latest, Matthias & Maxime, released today exclusively on Mubi.
Despite his acclaim amongst overseas cineastes, the director has struggled to swim in more mainstream waters, saying to The Guardian in “No one knows me in the States, because the movies have been released in such an awkward, irregular fashion, all by different distributors, [with] no continuity.”
This culminated in last year’s delayed release of The Death & Life of John F. Donovan, Dolan’s poorly receiv

Praise at a juvenile age gave him a unfortunate ego, generated quite a few embarrassing headlines for flipping out at critics if they didn't like his work.

Critics hold been fawning over him since he directed hi first movie at you can only imagine the vastity of the ego. He's probably a douchebag. Mommy is the most overrated movie of all times.

Xavier Dolan on Film&#;s Homosexual Double Standard: &#;We Never Talk About Heterosexual Films&#;
Xavier Dolan made his long-awaited return to the Cannes Film Festival on May 22 for the society premiere of his latest drama, &#;Matthias & Maxime.&#; Critics were favorable to the romance, calling it a return to establish for Dolan after back-to-back critical misfires &#;It&#;s Only the End of the World&#; and &#;The Death and Life of John F. Donovan.&#; Dolan&#;s latest stars himself and Gabriel D’Almeida Freitas as two friends whose relationship changes after they kiss each other during the making of a student film.
Speaking at the &#;Matthias & Maxime&#; press conference, Dolan called out an industry double standard in which films centered around gay characters are almost always labeled &#;gay films&#; or &#;queer films&#; while movies about relationships between men and women are never defined by their sexuality. While &#;Matthias & Maxime&#; deals with a queer storyline, in Dolan&#;s eyes it&#;s as much a film and love story as one with heterosexual characters.
“This film is not gay, It’s life,&#; Dolan told press. &#;We never talk about heterosexual films.

Xavier Dolan is fulminating against the same-sex attracted tag that typically accompanies his revered art films.
Though indies such as "Laurence Anyways," "I Killed My Mother" and "Mommy" possess earned Dolan substantial gay cred, sexuality-based pigeonholing has been irksome for the year-old cinema prodigy. Surely, however, it hasn't stopped him from moving beyond those perceived barriers.
His large break is just around the corner: Dolan has two projects in the hopper featuring Hollywood notables. Marion Cotillard is taking on the role of Catherine in Dolan's "It's Only the End of the World," while "The Death and Life of John F. Donovan," which he's also directing, attracted Oscar winners Kathy Bates and Susan Sarandon.
But first he's making his urge rounds for "Tom at the Farm," an eerie drama centered around a young man (Dolan) asked to keep his sexuality on the DL while staying at his lifeless lover's mother's farm. The film opens Aug. 14 at Cinema Detroit.
"Tom at the Farm" mingles grief with sexual desire. Why do you think sometimes these two emotions converge, and what drew you to investigate that hybrid on screen?
I'm glad you're bringing that up because I remem
