Juste la fin du monde (It’s Only the End of the World)
Louis (Ulliel) is a writer returning home to a family that's not quite ready to put differences aside and accept him. With everyone still reliving the resentment caused by the circumstances of his departure, he’s also trying to find the right time to reveal the real reason for his return, that he’s been diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Winner of the Grand Prize at Cannes, Xavier Dolan's It’s Only the End of the World is a magnificent drama about home and family featuring an all-star cast delivering incredible performances.
“a brilliant, stylised and hallucinatory evocation of family dysfunction” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
