Xavier Dolan (temporarily) left Cannes for the Venice Film Festival, where he presented his fourth film in competition. A real shock: Tom at the Farm, a movie with Hitchcockian vibes and Kubrick-like projections, is a dark, toxic and disturbing work. Enthralling!

“Losing someone abruptly is like a thread breaking,” says the author of this theater play, Michel Marc Bouchard, a contemporary figure of French-Canadian literature. Tom at the Farm was shot in secret and on a low budget. A psychological thriller about violence and intolerance. “If there’s a cinematic reference in the film, it’s to The Silence of the Lambs. I even stole a sound snippet from it…” The soundtrack is the work of Gabriel Yared.
