Cannes Poster: Xavier Dolan’s Les Amours imaginaires (Heartbeats)

Here is your first look at the festival poster for Xavier Dolan’s Un Certain Regard selected Les Amours imaginaires (a.k.a Heartbeats) in what I imagine is the first of three. Niels Schneider, the actor is who had a bit part in I Killed My Mother has a more significant role in this three way and is featured in the poster below. 

I don’t have the official synopsis yet, but Dolan recently mentioned in an interview with the local paper that “it’s a different treatment, a different tone. I Killed My Mother is a film of youth in revolt; it’s a coming-of-age rash. Les Amours imaginaires, which is titled Heartbeats in English, is more mature. It’s a young-adult movie. It’s about how we deal with rejection, loneliness, grief.” In more prosaic terms, it’s the story of a love triangle. Two people – played by Dolan and Monia Chokri – are madly in love with the same guy.
