Xavier Dolan, revealed in Cannes ten years ago, will soon be 30 years old. The beloved child of Quebec cinema received the jury prize in Cannes five years ago for "MOmmy". This time with "Matthias and Maxime", presented in competition, he signs a choral film about a group of friends, young adults whose destinies are emerging and that a trivial event will shake up.
They know each other since childhood Matthias, Maxime, Rivette, Frank, Brass and others. A group of noisy friends who like to party. Adulthood is here and social lives are emerging.
Xavier Dolan signs a film about friendship, love and sexual identity: " I wanted to make a film about a passage, then I wanted to make this film because of friendships that took place knots, or who have reconnected, people I had lost sight of, friendships which, in the last, maybe 5-6 years, gave me a lot of freedom then allowed me to feel that I could be myself with these friends. I wanted to pay tribute to them in this film. "
Barely 30 years old, the director, who has already presented six films in Cannes, plays Maxime, leaving for Australia far from a toxic mother of which he is the tutor. On the occasion of a drunken party, his friend Matthias loses a bet and has to shoot a scene in an amateur film. A film kiss given to Maxime that will cause trouble, doubt in the life of Matthias. Xavier Dolan films a microcosm, a friendly refuge where he would be, whatever happens, always possible to be oneself.
