Tom at the Farm

Why we chose it

Xavier Dolan leaves his pop style behind for a surprising turn towards Hitchcock. In his dead lover’s family home, Tom finds grief mixing with desire, and as the melancholy drama slides towards psychological thriller, Gabriel Yared’s superb score keeps raising the tension.

Synopsis

When Tom travels to the countryside for his boyfriend’s funeral, he finds that the family never knew he existed, and the mother is sure her dead son had a girlfriend. The older brother knows otherwise, and sets out exactly what Tom may say and what he must keep to himself. Over time the two men are bound by an almost sadomasochistic dependence, and Tom no longer wants to leave.
