Laurence Anyways
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Xavier Dolan
2012 / 168min / DCP
Dolan’s sprawling drama stars Melvil Poupaud and Suzanne Clément as Laurence and Frédérique, a committed Montreal couple whose relationship arrives at a rocky junction when Laurence, a lauded novelist and teacher, tells Frédérique that he’s believed for his entire life that he was born in the wrong body, and wants to transition into a woman. Winner of the “Queer Palm” at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, Dolan’s formally audacious romance is not only a deeply felt depiction of the trans experience of coming out, but an inquiry into the complicated reasoning that keeps any couple together, or tears them apart.
