Film: HEARTBEATS (LES AMOURS IMAGINAIRES) October 15, 2010

This screening is part of the Chicago International Film Festival.

Director: Xavier Dolan
French with subtitles, 102 min.

Synopsis: French-Canadian prodigy Xavier Dolan (I Killed My Mother) returns with a hyper-stylized ode to the pleasure and pain of young love. Dolan costars with the devastatingly stylish Monia Chokri as best friends vying for the affections of a beautiful but elusive Adonis named Nicholas. Swooning romanticism is offset by a wry sense of humor, displaying a mastery of form that marks Dolan as one of the most promising young talents working today.
