Last year, 23 year-old Canadian filmmaker Xavier Dolan brought us one of the year's most sensual, evocative films with Heartbeats. The writer-director follows up his colorful slow-motion bisexual romance with Laurence Anyways, a transgender drama that looks a bit more grounded in reality than the similarly-themed The Skin I Live In. The film focuses on Laurence's romance when he decides to get a sex change. From the trailer, it appears we're in for another carefully observed, beautifully wrought treat.
While there's not yet a firm release date, Laurence Anyways should release in Canada by the year's end, and hopefully in the same window here in the States.
