It's Only the Trailer for The End of the World

.
I really only skimmed the reviews (and by reviews I mean complaints) of Xavier Dolan's It's Only the End of the World out of Cannes, but the one thing I remember pretty much everyone saying was that the film is shot almost entirely in close-up... and that's very clearly the gospel now that we have a trailer! We be riiiiight up in everybody's faces.

Thankfully Gaspard Ulliel and Marion Cottilard and Vincent Cassel and the rest have some gorgeous goddamned faces to be all up in, and Xavier Dolan ain't no slouch at making pretty people prettier either. Anyway I stayed out of the side-taking that surrounded the film immediately having not, you know, actually seen the thing, and also my opinions on Dolan's films have veered wildly from film to film... hell, from scene to scene. My favorite to date is Tom at the Farm; you can technically say that I "liked" Mommy but it was often so histrionic I felt like running from the theater at times. 

Anyway It's Only the End of the World is out in France and Quebec in September, while per usual we have no US date because we only see his movies years later than everyone for some reason. Here's the international trailer:
