It’s Only the End of the World (Juste la fin du monde)

Xavier Dolan,  the most exciting contemporary voice in Canadian film, delivers yet another visionary work. Winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes, Juste la fin du monde is a magnificent, thunderous drama about home and familial roots.

Louis (Gaspard Ulliel) is a terminally ill writer who has come home after 12 years of absence to tell his family he is dying. It’s the proverbial prodigal’s return, except that Louis’ family is not ready to forgive him for his desertion. His arrival precipitates chaos.
