The wonder child of the contemporary cinema, Xavier Dolan won this year the Grand Prix at Cannes and the Ecumenical Jury Award with Juste la fin du monde/ It's Only the End of the World. Adaptation after a theatre play, the film follows the whirlwind brought into a family by the arrival of a writer, after 12 years of absence, with a fatal announcement: he has very 
little time left. The cast stars French actors: Gaspard Ulliel, Nathalie Baye, Vincent Cassel, Marion Cotillard, Léa Seydoux. “It is an excellent, hallucinating, stylised evocation of the dysfunctions in a family,” critic Peter Bradshaw wrote in The Guardian, continuning: “To see it, to listen to it is like keeping your head into a box at a Motörhead concert”. Aged only 27, Xavier Dolan has already directed six feature-length films, all winners of multiple awards.
Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, two of Cannes favourites, return with a film full of suspense: La fille inconnue/The Unknown Girl, “the raw diamond of Dardenne brothers”, as Les Inrockuptibles magazine portrayed it. One evening, a doctor hears the bell ring right after her shift ended and closed the cabinet. She doesn’t answer. The next day, the police tells her that a young woman has been found dead on her door step.
