    J'ai tué ma mère

    The astonishing very young Canadian film maker Xavier Dolan is the new Orson Welles as he writes, directs, produces and acts in his own films. He's an incredibly fine actor not to mention his good looks. Every one of his six films to date have been outstanding with his latest MOMMY just awarded a special Jury Prize at Cannes 2014 and being Canada's entry to the Academy for Oscar Best Foreign Film consideration. I think it has a strong chance. I just hope the subject matter doesn't displease the all white jury in charge of nominating the 5 final films... I Killed my Mother is hardly what happens in the film, but the young hero who has a very complicated relationship with his mom seems always enraged for one reason or another. The story is unusual as are all of Xavier Dolan's movie plots. He is truly génial and NO ONE ELSE MAKES FILMS LIKE HIM. His super-intelligence in all things film for a 25 year old is only remarkable. I enjoyed and savoured very delicious moment of this conflict, battle between mother and son. Other Xavier Dolan films to sweep me totally away are LES AMOURS IMAGINAIRES ( Imaginary Lovers ) Tom a la Ferme ( Tom at the Farm ), a very sensitive film, going to a funeral of a lover who has died with the upcoming MOMMY. Xavier Dolan is French Canadian and all his films are in French which for me is a positive thing teaching French at the UofT. But let's face it. A lot of people simply do not want to go and read subtitles so that is the detriment to the Dolan Films. Were they in English, they would have much more success. PLEASE TRY A DOLAN FILM. They are super smart in every film way but of greatest importance they are intelligent works of ART! In France he is the next best thing to sliced bread.
