As some of you might know, I have quite an epic love for French and Spanish cinema – possibly related to having spent so much time there. Tonight, I was fortunate enough to see a preview of Les Amours Imaginaires (a.k.a. Heartbeats), a French-Canadian film about a rather leftfield sort of ménage à trois by Xavier Dolan. Playing to an uber vibrant colour-palette inspiration from by likes of Almodovar and somewhat reminiscent of Jules et Jim, but with a darker edge, Les Amours Imaginaires is possibly one of the best directed films to ever come out of French-Canada.

The director and writer, Xavier Dolan also plays one of the male protagonists of the film, alongside Niels Schneider and Monia Chokri. Check out the trailer below, and I highly recommend that you find some way to see this work of art. The acting, plot, script, cinematography and even the soundtrack were all flawless.
