A witty twist on the classic love triangle immortalized in such films as François Truffaut's Jules and Jim, the stylish and sexy Heartbeats makes the object of affection an ambiguous young Adonis
pursued by two admiring friends, a woman and another man. Consummation is hard to come by as infatuation and obsession go into comic overdrive. A Greek chorus of twenty-something friends of all genders and orientations comment on love, sex and their own relationships. The New York Times: "Dolan is a wildly talented, carelessly extravagant filmmaker nakedly in thrall to idols like François Truffaut, Bernardo Bertolucci and Pedro Almodóvar."
