Spotlight Selection 2010 / Director: Xavier Dolan
Heartbeats
Aiming to be a Quebecois Jules and Jim by way of Wong Kar Wai, Xavier Dolan's gorgeous, mushy Heartbeats is instead simply a classic example of style over substance. But as looks can often be a heartbreaker's chief attribute, Dolan's googly-eyed two-guys-and-a-girl romantic comedy (the follow-up to his precocious fest hit I Killed My Mother) does prove an alluring companion for most of its running time. Splashy colors, oddball framing, super-cool threads and cranked-up retro music supply the pic's bizarre love triangle with a dance-club atmosphere that'll seduce young auds of most any orientation.
