I am fine

Gone missing

"I am folded and unfolded and unfolding... I am fine" Colorblind


Allow me to be a little chauvinistic today. One of my compatriots, the 25 year-old Quebecois Xavier Dolan is competing today for the Palme d'Or at Cannes with his film Mommy (Mommy). He has already made five films and is himself an actor.

Mommy tells the story of a widowed single mom finds herself burdened with the full-time custody of her explosive 15-year-old ADHD son. As they try to make ends meet and struggle with their impetuous and unpredictable ménage, the new girl across the street, Kyla, benevolently offers needed support. Together, they find a new sense of balance, and hope is regained.

The particularity of Mommy is that Dolan was shooting in 1:1 aspect ratio (perfect square) hence my square format photo today.

Dolan often said that his films were imperfect but what mattered was the emotion. I do not compare myself to him at all but it is also my aspiration.
