Dolan's drowning

There is no denying that Dolan's self-indulgence has created his uniquely gorgeous style.

I think his most self-made movie at the moment is probably "Tom at the Farm". And "Dear Mummy" returns to the narrative style full of musical atmosphere and casual sway. The characters are full of tension and allow their emotions to flow. Everyone knows that the ethical relationship between the most taboo characters in works of art is cut cleanly. If the conflict between mother and child is dealt with, the mother is the mother and the child is the child, and there is no room for ambiguity, which will make the work very boring.

Like most artists, Duolan tries his best to explore all kinds of possibilities.

Somehow, his films always seem to be walking, dangerous, taboo, borderline, but often with a light gesture. It seems that the ending of the movie is how helpless and heavy the life is, and the fate is irreversible, but it doesn't matter if you jump.
It doesn't matter. So there is a sense of reincarnation.

    Although it's a lot of bitches MV carnival film, it should be Dolan's best film so far. Anne Durvale continued her outstanding performance. The slightly surreal colors and the "improved" French accent based on the "modified" Quebec accent shape the feeling of the near future world.

    This is a movie that makes me want to laugh, cry, change sex, be sad, and live my life. Dolan may be my favorite director in the next five years because he can make desperate people optimistic and sad people. very happy
