Cannes' favorite one
The film's world premiere took place in this year's main competition in Cannes alongside such names as Pedro Almodóvar, Terrence Malick, Ken Loach and Jim Jarmusch. Major international periodicals (Screen, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, The Guardian) appreciate the film's coherence in terms of the auteur style, and the director's honesty in depicting existential moments experienced by people in their thirties. It is important to note that this is Dolan's sixth film that has been presented in Cannes, and this development only confirms the young auteur's reputation.

Strong bond between Dolan and Mezipatra QFF
Mezipatra has followed Dolan's work since its start, and apart from two titles, the festival has presented his whole filmography so far. It is therefore entirely natural to include his latest film in the distribution offer upon founding our own distribution brand, and present it to wider audiences. The relevance of screening Matthias & Maxime in the Czech environment is proved by the fact that the launch of his previous films was in the hands of Aerofilms and Artcam distribution companies, whose position in terms of presenting international art production is crucial. At the same time, Xavier Dolan is one of the few filmmakers capable of consistently speaking for a generation close to Mezipatra visitors. This is why it is important for us to bring his work to the audiences.
