DOLAN ON SUICIDE WATCH
>The Canadian film-maker received a mauling from critics after his second film in competition, It’s Only the End of the World, premiered in Cannes. Dolan feels the negative reviews are unfair

Based Dolan!
Do people just go to cannes to boo everything?
nigga got that kramer cut
>>69782769
Xavier Dolan had received nothing but praise from Cannes so far, don't try and point your finger at the audiences because he made a weak film
>>69782663
wtf I like him now
>>69782663

>>69782769
Cannes is shitposting irl for, i would like to say patricians, but really entitled plebs.
>>69782838
I don't even know who this is but all I hear about is films getting booed.
>Dolan gets criticized at Cannes
>IT'S OVER FOR HIM!
>Refn gets boo'd at Cannes
>REFN DOES IT AGAIN! ALL HAIL!
But, by all means, /tv/ should love Dolan now.
>“If the guy who gives Creed five stars and Fast and the Furious four stars and-a-half is saying that Marion Cotillard is a bore in my movie, then it really is the end of the world,” he said. “And you wonder what the fuck he’s doing here.”
True that
>>69782899
He's a good guy. He looks arrogant but comes off very down to earth and nice in interviews.
>>69783039
refn could eat a bullet for all I care, OGF was utter trash
>>69783039
except refn was btfo at cannes before
And multiple times people blew dolan on the spot
>>69783023
>I don't even know who this is
>/tv/ - Television & Film
>>69783119
I know he was btfo at Cannes before, yet, people on here take that to praise him.
It's just funny how inconsistent /tv/ is.
>>69783222
refn directed drive
that's all there's to it
>>69783075
plus, his movies are gr8
>>69783222
Dolan and refn are actually on the same level of vapid style over substance directors but to Refn is the guy who would watch capeshit and dolan isn't so that's why they love him
>>69783222
Inconsistent in what sense? I am not familiar with Dolan but I don't believe any of his movies have given birth to dank memes like Refns have. What's in it for /tv/ to defend him?
>>69783072
Your dad makes taco adverts on tv, Xavier, tacos.
>>69783426
>What's in it for /tv/ to defend him?
Why should anything be in it?
Dolan was "mauled" by critics, thus, /tv/ should love him -- because of the contrarian nature of this board.
However, I see no one now flocking to love him. Whereas, Refn has been boo'd -- twice now -- and his followers take that reaction as a positive for him and flock to him even moreso.
That's inconsistent and you know it.
Dolan is almost as bad as Landis, they both wouldn't have a career without their daddy. It sickens me that Quebec praises him, he's seen as the poster child of Canadian filmmakers.
Pretty happy to see that people are seeing him as the hack he is DESU senpai
>>69783072
Dolan's bantz are very underrated.
>>69783023
he made the moty 2014 you cunt, get off my /tv/
>>69783483
it's because Dolan was previously highly praised at the festival, which made everyone hate him. so now the board is reacting to his "mauling" as if he's getting what he deserves. it's really juvenile.
>>69783610
You mean his mom, dad makes taco adverts. Been hating since day one, fàm.
>>69783483
well perhaps monsieur Dolan ought to consider start making more movies with edgy silent protagonists before he can presume to expect a prestigious institution like /tv/ jumping to his defense
>33% on RT
>>69783302
>>69783718
True.
>>69783682
Birdman?
>>69783718
He'd rather do films about his unresolved Oedipus complex and his homosexuality with terrible hit songs from 2003 thrown over it.
>>69783715
Dude his Dad is an actor/voice actor, his mom is well know too though.
>>69782663
good
I fucking hate pretentious canucks.
they fucking need to learn their place
speaking as a fellow canuck here.
>>69782663
Dolan pls
>>69782663
>“If the guy who gives Creed five stars and Fast and the Furious four stars and-a-half is saying that Marion Cotillard is a bore in my movie, then it really is the end of the world,” he said. “And you wonder what the fuck he’s doing here.”
Some faggots will actually defend this pretentious twink. Who the fuck he thinks he is? A prodigy? Not a cunt who stole Gus Van Sant's visual style and added his own bourgeois sensibility to ruin it even more? Did he even see Creed? Or Fast and Furious?
>>69782769
The moment you make money from a movie you should wait at least 3 years before going back to Cannes
>>69784187
the guy is such a fucking snob, he thinks he's the next big thing and the faggot hasn't even worked for it.
>>69784187
but he's right. Those are. fucking shit movies. Dolan is a hack but still there's some sense there
wait, Dolan is an actual guy? I thought it was the meme way of pronouncing "Nolan".
Mind Blown.
>>69782663
>27 year old
>already has 6 features under his belt
>aren't completely trash and have received praise from both critics and average joes
Yeah he's definitely living the life right now. Suicide watch cancelled.
>>69783483
>because of the contrarian nature of this board.
That's a fucking MEME
kstew film booed
refn film destroyed
dolan film shat upon
sounds like an angry cannes crowd who dont belong, shut it down
>>69782663
Is this the shopping cart dude?
>>69782663
Is this the shopping cart spinning faggot?
>>69784518
Refn wasn't destroyed, it's the most divisive movie of the festival which isn't a surpirse considering it's a genre movie.
>>69784569
the director of that yea
>>69784110
The only other anon ITT that has been here since at least 2010.
I thought we were all dead.
What's the movie about?
It'd be really weird if it was about gay shit if it got booed.
>>69784736
>>69784736I was here when Summer Glau was /tv/'s infatuation, it was so long ago I can't even remember the year
>>69784766
>I know virtually nothing about Cannes: the post
>>69784387
>and the faggot hasn't even worked for it.
Hey, he like made the same film five times in a row in consecutive years
That's gotta count for something right?
>>69783039
>>69783222
>>69783483
The difference is ever since Drive came out Refn has had a loyal fanbase on here. Most people on here have never watched one of Dolan's films.
>>69784645
this
Refn has come out the best so far, everyone's talking about Neon Demon and he's loving the publicity
>yfw he described it as punk rock, it's not effective if it's not getting reactions
>>69784864
>2009
I don't think i'll ever leave this place nor change waifu
>>69783039
More like
>Dolan gets criticized at Cannes
>"Why is everyone being so mean to me?! Mummy, you still think I'm a good filmmaker r-right?"
>Refn gets boo'd at Cannes
>"That's punk baby, it's divisive. This film encapsulates my dream of being a 16 yr old girl."
And you wonder why people are taking the piss out of Dolan and praising Refn? Kek, fuck off
>>69784974
No, Toni Erdmann is clearly the winner.
>>69785139
>who?
>Wunderkind and enfant terrible are sobriquets often appended to Dolan’s name, but in fairness the screechy, mawkish “It’s Only the End Of The World” does suggest that the time for comparing him to a child is past. Here after the leap forward in maturity that “Mommy,” for the most part, represented, this does feel like a regression, but not to childhood, instead it appears to be the work of a sulking, self-conscious teenager, locked in his bedroom with his music blaring, feeling like the most misunderstood genius who never asked to be born. [C-]
Dolan got destroyed.
>>69785158
It's just a prank: the movie
>>69785204
>Here after the leap forward in maturity that “Mommy,” for the most part, represented,
lol
>>69783072
what a pretentious cock
>>69783483
>because of the contrarian nature of this board.
Epic my good sir, truly epic. Did you read that on reddit? Maybe you should fuck off back there
>>69785239
You disagree? Why?
>>69784864
>>69785048
Has it really been so long?
>>69783113
>utter trash
Found the pleb. You literally didn't understand OGF!
>>69785893
Why so angry, reddit?
>>69785048
I feel
cold
>>69782769
cannes is where people who say they love cinema go to dislike cinema and boo at things
>>69782663
Dolan is a smug prick surrounded by a small click of young sycophants who believe he's the next kubrick or some shit. Its absolutely hilarious to watch his interviews on french talk shows, he's so fucking full of himself it literally transpires the tv screen.
>>69784187
He's critiquing the taste of the critic critiquing his movie. I don't see anything wrong with this. The Fast and the Furious is not four and a half stars.
>>69784736
Dolan posting was mainstream for a while anon
So what exactly is Cannes like? I've always imagined as a massive field with large tents that show the films.
>>69783039
>refn haters

>>69789380
>"If you don't like my work you got shit taste!"
Huh, so Dolan hangs out on /tv/ eh? Splains a lot.
>>69784078
So, he's just some millenial edgelord? That's it? And the patricians and plebs are too stuck up their own asses to see it? Oi......
>>69783039
Because Refn, though a cuck and an autist, knows how to take defeat. He won them with Drive but then lost them with OGF.
Dolan has always been a crybaby, becoming a little bitch when his work couldn't get past Un Certain Regard. He thought he was better than that category after only 2-3 films and thought he belonged in Main Competition. Irony is when is film Mommy go into Competition, it won Jury Prize. Except it tied with a Godard film, someone Dolan has talked shit about before.
Fuck Dolan.
>>69783483
Kek get the fuck out of here
>>69784085
ok who is she then?
>>69782663
No negative would be unfair when you are walking around with that abortion of a haircut
>>69782663
>had to go to kickstarter to raise 10k for a short film
>just turned 29
>now desperately trying to find a producer or production house willing to fund my first feature
>27 year old already directed 6 features
Is he a trustfund baby or something?
>>69782769
>pretentious elitist asshole festival attracts pretentious elitist assholes
also, this fag is a literally who meme director and the novelty has worn off because he isnt a 18 year old director anymore so his career is getting trashed by the only people who ever gave a shit about him
>>69792487
Brilliant rebuttal, reddit.

>>69792686
Post your short film or the trailer to your short film. I wanna know what tv-goers can do.
>>69792851
na I don't really care for refn either way, just seen my opportunity for a post
i do kek every time i remember he failed a drivers test 7 times and makes a movie named Drive though
It got a 8 minute standing ovation though

>1.69 cm
When will he learn?
>>69793059
I didn't call you Reddit. Why are you so stupid senpai?
>>69783483
>That's inconsistent and you know it.
It's not. Dolan exemplifies the kind of person /tv/ hates, so they see this reversal of favor as 'rightfully' taking him down a notch.
We've been on board with Refn since drive and his films appeal to tv's taste, plus all the memes.
He's one us, Dolan isn't. It's that simple.
>>69792686
I too wanna see a trailer or previous work anon.
Next FMG you should post in it. It's actually a welcoming thread.
>>69792686
His dad's a producer.
