Shot in a kind of hyper-florid style to capture the vicissitudes of an untenable love affair, Xavier Dolan's epic romance Laurence Anyways feels like Wuthering Heights relocated to the streets of Montreal, with a transgendered Heathcliff and a punky Catherine. The crux of the film: can this storm-tossed couple stay together when both biology and society are arrayed against them? Can they live apart? Driven by gutsy performances, particularly by leads Melvil Poupaud and Suzanne Clément, Laurence Anyways may be the most audacious, searing meditation on love and sexuality ever made in this country.
