First Look: Xavier Dolan’s TOM AT THE FARM Image and Poster
Good god, how I love Xavier Dolan. I caught Dolan’s Laurence Anyways at the Cleveland International Film Festival in March and still haven’t seen anything that comes close to the cinematic virtuosity Dolan exhibits with that film. It’s a masterpiece.
But Laurence Anyways has been around for more than a year and half now, after premiering at Cannes in 2012. Dolan’s latest film Tom at the Farm will premiere at the 2013 Venice Film Festival. And whatever the wait to see the movie is this time around (probably in 2014), it’ll be worth it.
Here’s the official synopsis courtesy of The Playlist:
In this psychological thriller Stockholm Syndrome, mourning and latent violence permeate a story of lies and imposters. A young ad executive travels to the country for a funeral and discovers that no one there knows his name or his relationship with the deceased.
Set deep in the farmlands of Quebec, TOM AT THE FARM tells of the growing fissure separating city and country and the respective natures of the men that reside there.
Xavier Dolan’s forth film is based on the eponymous play by Michel-Marc Bouchard.
The film already has a Canadian distributor and I’m not above traveling to Montreal to see this movie as soon as possible. In the meantime, I’ll just watch Dolan’s Heartbeats on Netflix for the 100th time.
