Heartbeats (Les amours imaginaires) - Official Trailer

What a film...a must see for any indie cinema fan.

You could have feared that Xavier Dolan had already made his best film with his autobiographical debut, the festival hit 'I Killed My Mother'. But the merely 22-year-old Canadian supertalent has more films up his sleeve, and the follow-up, the quirky love triangle drama 'Heartbeats', confirms Dolan's status as a director to look out for. Dolan prudently avoids the most immediate references, and he has made a radically different film to his debut success. Marie and Francis (again played by Dolan himself) are best friends, but while she is sexually aggressive and energetic, he maintains an introverted and almost acerbic distance to the world around him. The two of them do little else than feel superior to other people with a mixture of condescending arrogance and a solid dose of complacency, until one day, when they meet the charming Nico at a dinner party, and both take interest in him. The three of them become inseparable for a short while, but Nico seems to be above the banal erotic obsession that both Marie and Francis succumb to, and suddenly the two close friends lose their footing.

Directed by: Xavier Dolan

I'm not familiar with Almodovar's work, but I'm sure he's influenced by Wong Kar-wai; the way he uses the ralenti and the music, the colour composition, and the importance he gives to the characters' development. You should check out "In the mood for love" and see for yourself; I'm sure you'll notice these similarities :)
