Why we chose it

Xavier Dolan, who seems dreamed up by cinema itself, was 21 when his second film premiered, and writing, directing, editing and starring in it made him one of the most talked-about names in French-language cinema. Two friends fall for one boy, but is it a triangle, a friendship or an obsession?

Synopsis

Francis, a sentimental gay man, and Marie, a brazen young woman who only ever dresses retro, are best friends, and they both fall for Nicolas, a beautiful boy who has just moved to town and keeps saying he only wants friends. Then, on a trip to the country together, Nicolas tells them straight out: love me or leave me.
