"Secrets, sorrows, rancour…" The first official trailer has debuted online for the latest Xavier Dolan film, titled It's Only the End of the World, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this year. The film is based on a play and takes place mostly inside one home. Gaspard Ulliel stars as a man who returns to his childhood home with plans to tell his family about his upcoming death, but his return reignites tensions between everyone again. The full cast includes Nathalie Baye, Vincent Cassel, Marion Cotillard and Léa Seydoux. I'm a huge fan of Xavier Dolan, but I admit this might be my least favorite film he's made. This new trailer provides a good sense of what to expect, including some of the tension between the family.
Here's the first French trailer for Xavier Dolan's It's Only the End of the World, found on YouTube:
After 12 years of absence, Louis (Ulliel), a writer, goes back to his hometown, planning on announcing his upcoming death to his family. As resentment soon rewrites the course of the afternoon, fits and feuds unfold, fuelled by loneliness and doubt, while all attempts of empathy are sabotaged by people's incapacity to listen and love. It's Only the End of the World is the latest film written and directed by Quebecois filmmaker Xavier Dolan, of I Killed My Mother, Heartbeats, Laurence Anyways, Tom at the Farm and Mommy previously. It's based on a play by Jean-Luc Lagarce. This first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this year. The film opens in Canada and France on September 21st, but no US date is set yet.
