Les Amours Imaginaires – Heartbeats – CATCH IT (B) Les Amours Imaginaires is a second movie directed by very young Xavier Dolan, who has directed critically acclaimed "I Killed My Mother". His previous directorial venture was very dark and touches a weird topic of a son hating her mother so much that he wishes her death as he finds his mother very cold and harsh towards him. Xavier again directed an unconventional yet comparatively lighter topic of two best friends Marie and Francis falling in love with a same angelic guy Nicholas. The movie is a sexy stylish look into this friend's life who gets jealous from each other and try their best to get the attention of Nicholas. Who is so lost in his own world and friendly love for them that he never realizes that from beginning to end these both Boy and girl are fighting for his affection. The weird part is that Marie and Francis are friends only because they have the same thoughts towards society and they don't have anyone other significant in life who can understand them. That's why even they are jealous of each other they know there won't be anyone else who can understand them. Xavier Dolan has directed a sensual sexy stylish movie though at times it's stalled and doesn't seem like moving forward at all. His performance is good. Monia Chokri is great, she is strong and different. Niels Schneider is angelic and that's the whole purpose of him. He is effortless and charming no wonder both friends fall head over heals for him. It wasn't sexual but just that strong infatuation to get his attention. The soundtrack of the movie is simply amazing and it will stick in to your heads long after the movie is over. In the end, everyone once in their life time gets infatuated by someone. And then in the end after some time you are shocked and realize that was it really worth all that attention and time?
