I watched Xavier Dolan's film "It's Only the End of the World", shot in 2016 and collected a significant number of various prizes and once again convinced (for the first time - after the film "Mommy") that this is not my director. A young writer returns home after a 12-year absence with the intention of informing his family of his illness, but his intention was never realized. People have lost the ability to adequately communicate with each other - the mother constantly hits into memories, for the hundredth time telling the story heard by everyone, then tries to introduce his thoughts to him, which he must tell the rest, the sister, who practically did not know her brother, tries, however, rather indistinctly, to tell him something (and what will you tell in fact to an outsider and even from the bay of velvet?), the older brother is annoyed by literally everything that everyone says, and only the brother's wife somehow understands and tries to tell him something, but her husband constantly cuts off. So, after pushing there for several hours, he leans to his mother’s version, says what she would like to hear, after that he is almost escorted out of the house by his brother, whom his speech finally screwed up, in the end he leaves without saying the main thing. Nobody understood anything, people forgot to understand each other. This time, Dolan shot only French actors, and the famous - Natalie Bai, Lea Seydoux, Marion Cotillard, Vincent Cassel, in the title role - Gaspar Ulliel. But the style of presentation was not close to me.
