It's here! Les Films Séville released a trailer for the hotly-anticipated Canadian film
Mommy today. It's a beaut, especially from the clips highlighting the performances from regulars Anne Dorval and Suzanne Clément. The latest film from Xavier Dolan (
Laurence Anyways,
I Killed My Mother) gets an energetic (and sexy) preview after its much-buzzed debut at Cannes where it won the Jury Prize. The film will presumably get a North American premiere at Toronto, but Quebec audiences will at least get to see the film when it opens in theaters September 19. More dates to follow.
Synopsis: In a fictional Canada, a new law allows distressed parents to abandon
their troubled children to the hospital system. Diane “Die” Despres, a
feisty widow, tries to cope with Steve, her wild yet charismatic ADHD
son. While they both try to make ends meet, Kyla, a mysterious
neighbour, offers her help. As Kyla’s heart-warming presence becomes
increasingly intense, questions emerge about her own mysterious life,
and the way her destiny may ultimately be linked to that of Steve and
Die.
