Laurence Anyways
Quebecois filmmaker Xavier Dolan’s story about a decade in the life of a couple features affecting music, vibrant colours and heart-breakingly honest studies of sexuality and gender, all hallmarks of the young director’s filmmaking style.
Passionate and powerfully acted, this epic film explores the tumultuous relationship between two lovers, one of whom is transitioning from male to female. Touching, enigmatic and genuine, Laurence Anyways is a powerhouse of contemporary Canadian cinema.
