Matthias & Maxime
directed by Xavier Dolan, Canada 2019, 119'
Matthias and Maxime was made with thirty-somethings in mind, whose settling identity leaves less and less room for surprises and emotional twists and turns. Shot in soft pastel colours, with clever dialogues and songs (Arcade Fire, Pet Shop Boys, Tom Odell, Florence + The Machine, Britney Spears and others), it’s a story that sounds like a confession you would not dare to make up front.
