Movie Pick: Heartbeats Directed By Xavier Dolan

The young and talented French-Canadian auteur Xavier Dolan wrote, directed and stared in this hip, mature story about impossible relationships and painful rejection. "Heartbeats" follows best friends Marie and Francis who have both become infatuated with the same man. Their close friendship becomes a quiet rivalry as each attempt to gain his attention and affection. With a nod towards Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Dreamers" and Francois Truffaut's "Jules and Jim," Dolan weaves this modern love triangle through the streets of Montreal. The new French-Canadian wave of cinema doesn't get any better than this.
