Xavier Dolan

He felt betrayed, he felt totally betrayed, he felt it was a big big suffering for him to be to be quit in fact by Mitterrand because he had this feeling and yeah it's part of his decision to quit.

Can you tell me a little bit about Xavier Dolan's character who is a bureaucrat in the purest sense.

But he's also quite a funny character.

You can see him playing all sides of the coin.

You're absolutely right.

Because I did a casting for this part, I met many actors.

And Xavier Dolan was almost one of the only ones, maybe the only one, who liked very much this character and who did not say that Subilon, the name of the part, was cynical at all.

He did not say that he was an ambitious guy, very cynical.

...

Xavier Dolan film that's like a beautiful mess.

Oh, shit.

That just like...

It was a weird dream.

Mm-hmm.

When is Xavier Dolan gos- gonna come back to movies? We need-

I think he's done

said it.

What do French audiences think about the revelations in your film that... um, you know, the, the, the French bureaucrats, I was really surprised to see a Quebecois filmmaker and actor in Xavier Dolan playing the chief bureaucrat here.

He's wonderful in the role, but French bureaucrats and builders and, and the key French architect, actually the designer of the Charles de Gaulle airport, no less.

Um, they're all conspiring to somehow undermine the Danish architects vision with using cheaper materials and, and, and really, um, bowing to institutional bureaucratic pressure.

In fact, there is not people who are right and people who are wrong.

No, everybody has his own reason.

And I think that Xavier Dolan, who is the bureaucrat in the movie, is not a bad guy.

He's a guy who tries his best to make the project be possible.

It's still Canada.

Xavier Dolan plays James Bond.

Yeah, exactly.

I just like picture...

I never noticed that, unless it's, like, super obvious.

Like, unless it's, you know, Xavier Dolan in Mommy or whatever.

Like, I very often miss that entirely.

So, if I see it again, I will keep an eye out for that.

Or be like, oh, do you remember that he directed The Trotsky with Jay Baruchel? That's a good movie.

Or people love to point out that he was in the Terrence Davies movie, The Neon Bible, or the Xavier Dolan movie, Lawrence Anyways.

But no, no, no, no, no.

It all goes back to Pim.
