film
In the early 1990s, Laurence, a literature teacher, reveals to his partner Fred his desire to live as a woman, profoundly transforming their relationship. Spanning nearly ten years, Laurence Anyways tells an intimate and passionate struggle between self-affirmation and emotional attachment.
“There is a double tension in Dolan’s seemingly superficial cinema: a flashy style and an ironic distance collide in a space full of ruptures. His films resemble lips smeared with lipstick, from which cruel truths about love, feelings, and the difficulty of living burst forth.” (Cahiers du cinéma).
“It takes cojones for a filmmaker to chase Fassbinder's ghost, but it takes heart and talent to damn near catch up with it.” (Slant Magazine)
