If you loved The Death & Life of John F. Donovan, try Heartbeats
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Xavier Dolan, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Death & Life of John F. Donovan, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Heartbeats is
Montreal coffee shop, summer, espresso machines humming. Francis and Marie compete for Nicolas' attention, a tangled dance of desire and friendship. Dolan's early work already showcases his flair for youthful angst.
