Xavier Dolan-Tadros (in French ɡzavje dɔlan tadʁɔs/;[1] born 20 March 1989) is a Canadian filmmaker and actor. He began his career as a child actor in commercials before directing several arthouse feature films. He first received international acclaim in 2009 for his feature film directorial debut, I Killed My Mother (French: J'ai tué ma mère), which he also starred in, wrote, and produced, and which premiered at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival in the Directors' Fortnight section and won three awards from the program.[2] [3]
Since 2009, he has written and directed eight feature films, all of which have premiered at Cannes, with the exception of Tom at the Farm—which premiered at the 70th Venice International Film Festival in 2013—and his first English-language film, The Death & Life of John F. Donovan, which premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival. Dolan has also directed music videos, notably with Adele for her singles "Hello" (2015), and "Easy on Me" (2021), for which he received a Grammy Award for Best Music Video nomination.
Dolan has won many accolades for his work, including the Jury Prize at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival for Mommy and the Grand Prix at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival for It's Only the End of the World. He has also won several Canadian Screen Awards and César Awards.
Outside of his own films, he has also starred in films from other directors, such as Elephant Song (2014), Boy Erased (2018), Bad Times at the El Royale (2018), It Chapter Two (2019), and Lost Illusions (2021). In 2022, he was nominated for the César Award for Best Supporting Actor for Lost Illusions.
Early life
Dolan was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec.[4] He is the son of Geneviève Dolan, a Québécois public college administrator with Irish roots,[4] and Manuel Tadros, an Egyptian-Canadian actor and singer of Coptic and Lebanese descent.[5] His parents divorced when he was 2 years old, leaving his mother to take care of him in suburban Montreal.[6] [7] He has an older half-brother from his father's previous relationship.[8]
He began acting at the age of 4, after his aunt, a production manager, suggested he auditioned for a minor role in a TV drama.[9] Most notably he starred in a series of 21 commercials for a Canadian drugstore chain, Jean Coutu.[10] He kept working until he was 8, when his mother, unable to cope with such a hyperactive child, sent him to boarding school in rural Quebec for 5 years.[7] [11] [9]
His extensive dubbing career also started to intensify at this time, as Dolan found it hard to audition and get acting jobs. At first it was because he was away for school and then, when he was back in Montreal, because he was "too small, too big, too young, too old for all kinds of roles", according to casting directors.[12] [13] Once he completed his high school education, he decided to enroll at the College de Maisonneuve studying literature, but he will only last two months, later describing the experience as "suffocating".[14]
Remembering his early days as an actor preceding his filmmaking debut, Dolan said:
Career
I Killed My Mother
See main article: I Killed My Mother. Dolan attracted international attention with his directorial debut—a film about the complicated relationship between a mother and her teenage son—which he wrote, directed, produced and starred in at the age of 19.
He reportedly began writing the script when he was 16 years old.[15] Talking about the genesis of the film, actress Anne Dorval, who starred as the titular mother and will later work on numerous projects with him, stated Dolan was only 15 when he first came to see her at her dubbing studio. The first script he gave her, Pink Wings (Les Ailes Roses) was ultimately never filmed and it was described as "four films in one" by Dorval. As she turned him down, Dolan informed her he wasn't interested in that script anymore, and that he had decided to turn a short story he had written for French class, The Matricide (Le Matricide),[16] into what will come to be known as I Killed My Mother (J'ai tué ma mère).[17]
He said in an interview with Canadian newspaper French: [[Le Soleil (Quebec)|Le Soleil]] that the film was partly autobiographical.[18] When, years later, he was asked how his mother had received the film, he replied:The film premiered at the Director's Fortnight program of the 2009 Cannes Film Festival where it received an eight-minute standing ovation and won three awards: the Art Cinema Award, the SACD Prize for screenplay, and the Prix Regards Jeunes.[5] It also won a Lumière Award and four Jutra Awards, including Best Film, Best Screenplay, and Most Successful Film Outside Québec, beating out Denis Villeneuve's film French: [[Polytechnique (film)|Polytechnique]] (2009) in what was deemed an "upset".[19]
Dolan later said that the film was "flawed" and Peter Brunette of The Hollywood Reporter called it "a somewhat uneven film that demonstrates a great deal of talent". Brunette also called the film "funny and audacious", while Allan Hunter of Screen International said that it possessed "the sting of shrewdly observed truth".[20]
The film received the Claude Jutra Award (now known as the Canadian Screen Award for Best First Feature) at the Genies, and the Toronto Film Critics Association awarded Dolan the inaugural $5,000 Jay Scott Prize for emerging talent. I Killed My Mother was named one of Canada's Top Ten features of the year by the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and chosen as Canada's official entry for Best Foreign Language Film for the 2010 Academy Awards, though it failed to receive a nomination from the academy.[21] Distribution rights were later sold to more than 20 countries.[22] Due to legal problems experienced by the film's U.S. distributor, Regent Entertainment,[23] it was not released theatrically in the U.S. until 2013, and once released, it earned little at the box office.[24]
Heartbeats
See main article: Heartbeats (2010 film). The second feature film Dolan directed, Heartbeats (French: Les Amours imaginaires), was financed privately. The film follows two friends who are infatuated with the same mysterious young man and their friendship suffers. It premiered in the Un Certain Regard category at the 63e Festival de Cannes in May 2010 where it received a standing ovation.[25] It won the top prize of the Official Competition at the Sydney Film Festival in June and screened at several film festivals throughout 2011, but failed to find audiences in non-French-speaking countries. It received several Genie nominations and the AQCC (Québec association of film critics) award for Best Film.
Laurence Anyways
See main article: Laurence Anyways. His third film, Laurence Anyways, was selected to compete in the French: [[Un Certain Regard]] section at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. Suzanne Clément's performance in the film won the section's award for Best Actress.[26] [27] The film received praise or qualified praise from critics.[28] [29] A critic for MTV's The Out Take, which focuses on LGBT films, called the film "the best film of the year."[30] Despite the praise, the film was not released commercially for a year.[31] Upon release, the film struggled at the box office, and only grossed roughly $500,000 in Canada.[32]
Tom at the Farm
See main article: Tom at the Farm. In May 2012, Dolan announced that his fourth film would be an adaptation of Michel Marc Bouchard's play Tom at the Farm (Tom à la ferme).[33] It received its world premiere in the main competition section at the 70th Venice International Film Festival on 2 September 2013, and won the FIPRESCI award. Though Tom at the Farm played the festival circuits in 2013, it was not released in the U.S. until 2015. In an August 2015 interview, Dolan said: "No one knows me in the States, because the movies have been released in such an awkward, irregular fashion, all by different distributors... I don't want to sound pretentious, but it's puzzling."[34]
Mommy
See main article: Mommy (2014 film). Dolan's 2014 film, Mommy, shared the Jury Prize in the main competition section at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival with Jean-Luc Godard's film Goodbye to Language (French: Adieu au langage).[35] The jury president for the 2014 festival was Jane Campion and, upon receiving the award, Dolan stated: The film was singled out by critics as Dolan's "most mature" film to date and proved to be a breakthrough in his career as a director.[36] It was his first film to achieve significant success at the box office, grossing over $3.5 million domestically in 2014, becoming the highest-selling film in Quebec for 2014.[37] According to the Montreal Gazette, over one million people watched it in France. Mommy won the César Award for Best Foreign Film in 2015.[38]
It's Only the End of the World
See main article: It's Only the End of the World. Dolan's next film was an adaptation of the play French: Juste la fin du monde by French: [[Jean-Luc Lagarce]]|italic=no, titled It's Only the End of the World. The film stars French: [[Marion Cotillard]]|italic=no, French: [[Gaspard Ulliel]]|italic=no, French: [[Vincent Cassel]]|italic=no, French: [[Léa Seydoux]]|italic=no and French: [[Nathalie Baye]]|italic=no. Filming started in late May 2015.[39] The film was an official selection for the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, in competition for the Palme d'Or,[40] and it won the festival's Grand Prix and the Ecumenical Jury Prize.[41] [42]
Dolan stated that It's Only the End of the World is his best film and the one he's the most proud of.[43] The film premiered to polarized reactions from festival audiences and critics, with Vanity Fair calling it "the most disappointing film at Cannes."[44] [45] [46] The Hollywood Reporter called it "a cold and deeply unsatisfying" film[47] and Variety dubbed it "a frequently excruciating dramatic experience".[48] During the festival, Dolan spoke out against the negative criticism in the media.[49] [50] The film also received positive reviews from critics, including The Guardian, which called it a "brilliant, stylised and hallucinatory evocation of family dysfunction".[51]
It's Only the End of the World was a box office hit in France,[52] where it debuted at number one and sold over 1 million tickets.[53] For his work on the film, Dolan won the César Awards for Best Director and Best Editing at the 42nd ceremony on 24 February 2017.[54] He also won 3 Canadian Screen Awards for Best Motion Picture, Best Achievement in Direction and Best Adapted Screenplay.[55]
The Death and Life of John F. Donovan
In March 2013, Dolan was in pre-production for his first English-language film The Death & Life of John F. Donovan;[56] he co-wrote the screenplay with Jacob Tierney. The film follows John F. Donovan (Kit Harington), a Hollywood film actor whose life and career are turned upside-down when a gossip columnist (Jessica Chastain) exposes his private correspondence with an 11-year-old fan. The film also stars Susan Sarandon as Donovan's mother and Kathy Bates as his manager.[57] In February 2018, Dolan confirmed via Instagram that Chastain had been cut from the film, and that the story had been altered throughout post-production.[58] Speaking to Telerama, he mentioned the many issues faced during and after filming:The film had its world premiere at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, making it Dolan's first film to premiere at the festival. Following its premiere at the festival, it received universally negative reviews from critics.[59] IndieWire dubbed the film the "worst" of Dolan's career.[60] The Guardian gave the film one out of five stars, deeming it a "dubious mess".[61] Now magazine called the film "mediocre at best".[62] In a more positive review, Screen International wrote that the film "may revisit a lot of familiar territory for Dolan but on this form it is good to welcome him home."[63]
French: Matthias and Maxime
Dolan's eighth feature film, titled Matthias & Maxime, centers on the titular Matthias (played by Gabriel D'Almeida Freitas) and Maxime (played by Dolan himself), lifelong friends whose relationship is tested when they act in a short film whose script calls for them to kiss, leaving them both questioning their sexual identities when the experience awakens their long-dormant feelings for each other.[64]
The film had its world premiere in the main competition section at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival on 22 May.[65] [66] It received mixed to generally positive reviews, with The Hollywood Reporter calling it a movie "miming an emotion that's never actually felt"[67] while Variety noted that "it feels at once younger and older, sweeter and more seasoned, than Dolan's last few films".[68] The film was nominated for seven awards at the 22nd Quebec Cinema Awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Funk and Best Editing for Dolan.[69] It won for Best Supporting Actress for Bernard, Best Music for Jean-Michel Blais, and Most Successful Film Outside Quebec.[70] It was also included in the Toronto International Film Festival's list of Canada's top 10 films of 2019.[71]
Retirement plans
In November 2022, Dolan indicated to Le Journal de Montréal his desire to take a break from the film industry.[72]
In July 2023, in two separate interviews with the Spanish newspapers El País[73] and El Mundo[74] , when asked about this break, Dolan explained that he intended to retire from cinema. He said: "I no longer have the desire or strength to commit myself to a project for two years that barely anyone sees. I put too much passion into it to have so many disappointments. It makes me wonder if my filmmaking is bad, and I know it's not." He also discussed his fears of a "civil war caused by intolerance" and went on to say, "I don't understand what is the point of telling stories when everything around us is falling apart. Art is useless and dedicating oneself to cinema, a waste of time." He concluded, "I want to take time to be with my friends and family. I want to shoot commercials and build myself a house in the country one day when I have enough money saved. I don't say that in a sad way at all. I just want to live something else, other experiences."
In a subsequent Instagram post on his personal page, following speculations and criticism, he clarified some of these statements offering a partial transcript of the conversation, writing:
Other work
In 2015, Dolan was selected to serve on the jury for the main competition section of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.[75] [76] Also that year, he directed the music video for "Hello", the lead single from the album 25 by Adele.[77] The video broke the Vevo record for most views in 24 hours, over 27.7 million views.[78] It was also notable for featuring footage shot in IMAX.[79] Dolan received the Juno Award for Video of the Year for directing the video.[80]
Dolan played supporting roles in two 2018 American films: Boy Erased, opposite Lucas Hedges and Troye Sivan, which premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival; and Bad Times at the El Royale, as British-accented music producer Buddy Sunday.[81] He appeared in the horror follow-up It Chapter Two in 2019,[82] after publicly praising its first installation.[83] When asked how he got the part, he said he had met director Muschietti and told him he'd play any role to be in the sequel, "the door knob, the curtain".[84]
He has also starred in Lost Illusions, an adaption of French: [[Illusions perdues]] by French: [[Honoré de Balzac]]|italic=no, directed by Xavier Giannoli. For this role, he obtained a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the 2022 César Awards.[85]
In December 2021, Dolan confirmed via Instagram the end of the shooting of his first TV Drama, The Night Logan Woke Up, based on Michel Marc Bouchard's play of the same name.[86]
Dolan co-owns the production company Sons of Manual along with producer Nancy Grant.[87] [88] [89]
Influences and style
Dolan has said that he is not particularly influenced by any specific directors, though in 2009, he identified Michael Haneke as one of his favourite directors for his precise camerawork and strong writing, citing Haneke's Funny Games and The Piano Teacher as favourites.[90]
At the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, he said that Jane Campion's The Piano was a major inspiration for him. He has also cited seeing the film Titanic as an early influence on his decision to enter the film industry.[91] He has mentioned paying tribute to My Own Private Idaho with a sequence in I Killed My Mother,[92] and that he was influenced by the frog rain scene at the end of Magnolia, but said in 2013,His list of favorite films was published in September 2023 on LaCinetek.[93] It includes several works from the 2000s, such as Million Dollar Baby and Mystic River by Clint Eastwood, There Will Be Blood by Paul Thomas Anderson, Catch Me If You Can by Steven Spielberg and The Departed by Martin Scorsese.
Personal life
Dolan is openly gay,[94] and described his first film I Killed My Mother as semi-autobiographical.[95]

As voice actor
Dolan is also a voice actor and has dubbed several films in Quebec French.[99] Note: Many films that are dubbed in French are also dubbed in the French spoken in Québec or in one of the versions of French known as international French. DVDs may be labelled VQ for "version Québécoise", which uses a Québécois accent and terms unique to that variety of the French language, or VFQ for "version francophone québécoise", which presents a generally neutral accent but pronounces English words in a way found in North America rather than in France.
