In the opening title card, the film is dedicated to 'Eliza, Francis, Joel and Luca'. This refers to Eliza Hittman, Francis Lee, Joel Edgerton and Luca Guadagnino, who directed Beach Rats (2017), God's Own Country (2017), Boy Erased (2018) and Call Me by Your Name (2017), which are all gay coming-of-age films.

Matthias & Maxime: after agreeing to share an innocent kiss on camera for a student film, lifelong friends experience major changes in their relationship. The awkwardness between them lingers until they reconnect at Maxime’s going away party!

At your age, it's normal to doubt, and try new things. You wake up one day and you're stuck. Sometimes you spend your life doing one thing, and in the end it wasn't your thing.

So before drawing it I rewatched 'Matthias et Maxime' by Xavier Dolan, it's one of my most favorite films ever and I couldn't help drawing some käärijan artwork inspired by it. Enjoy ✨

I love Matthias et Maxime so much that I bought an all-region DVD player just so I could buy the physical copy since the only option with English subtitles was in region B. I have no regrets.

Matthias & Maxime (2019)

Are there any queers? Yeah.

Matthias and Maxime are lifelong friends. Then they end up having to kiss for a movie that another character is making. And of course this awakens feelings in them both that they both have to deal with. The crisis, here, is very much about how a relationship dynamic is changing and not a crisis of sexual orientation. Not really. Plus there are other personal issues they're both dealing with that are impacting their relationship. And it's also got this underlying theme about Québécois French and the generational and class differences in how people use and perceive French and English in Quebec. It's honestly my favorite Xavier Dolan movie.
