Xavier Dolan Fills “Mommy” Shopping Cart with 10 Jutra Awards (Quebec Oscars)

Date:

Xavier Dolan tied contemporaries Philippe Falardeau and Denis Villeneuve by winning his second Best Feature award at the 17th annual Jutra Awards. Quebec’s answer to the Oscars was a rather suspense-less affair as Mommy claimed nine (plus the top box office award honor) awards winning in all major categories with the exclusion of Best Supporting Actor category win, which would only end up going to Dolan’s other nominated film, Tom at the Farm. Pierre-Yves Cardinal was sublime in his predatory type role and as was the case for several nominees, was hard at work on another project and therefore not on hand for trophyware. Ricardo Trogi’s throwback to awkward teen years tale 1987 did win a trio of awards, but if there were any surprises in the Dolan camp it was the acceptance speeches: Dolan delivered a keynote speech type quality for the last win of the night and for those who did see him win in Cannes — I would say it was on par with his film history book love poem to future generations, and his trio of muses headed by Anne Dorval were still moved by what decidedly became roles of a live time. And while it went two for ten on the score-card, Stéphane Lafleur’s B&W Directors’ Fortnight gem Tu dors Nicole along with Dolan’s pair of films, and Villeneuve’s English language Enemy, represent a collective year of bold, inventive and energetic Quebecois cinema.
