"The sky is our limit." This is what Fred (played by Suzanne Clément) tells those curious about her thoughts on her boyfriend Laurence's (played by Melvil Poupaud) transition. It's 1989, and she believes their generation is ready to accept transgender people. However, both Fred and Laurence will spend nearly a decade realizing that they are the ones who are truly lost. The film tells the story of a woman's love affair with her transgender boyfriend across decades through flashbacks. For Laurence, transitioning is a prerequisite for survival, the first breath of oxygen after holding his breath underwater for 30 years. Yet, while Laurence has decided on his gender, he has not considered the life after his transition, nor has he thought about spending a decade validating his feelings for Fred, the most important friend/lover in his life. "Laurence Anyways" is the third feature film by Canadian director Xavier Dolan, and it is also his most ambitious and epic work to date. Compared to his previous films, this one carries less of an autobiographical tone. However, Dolan cleverly extracts the commonality of human emotions from these unique, marginalized characters—those cores behind romance, conflict, uncertainty, transformation, and reconstruction—allowing the theme to return to his most adept "Dolan aesthetic": the faith and pursuit of "impossible love." "Laurence Anyways" was nominated for the "Un Certain Regard" section at the 65th Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Best Actress award and the Queer Palm.
