Matthias & Maxime (Xavier Dolan, 2019)

This is news to me (and apparently the forum as it hadn't been posted here yet), but Dolan has shot another film in Québec, and the wonderful Anne Dorval is back, among others including himself rounding out the cast.

I will not be accepting any comments from swo on this film at this time.

But is Jessica Chastain not in it?

She's not in this one either.

I'm sure this has been mentioned in that film's thread, but she was apparently cut because her character played a tabloid journalist falsely accusing the titular character of sexual impropriety, and considering how much real sexual impropriety has emerged in the time since the film was shot, it made more sense to nix her in the editing room.
The two are still good friends. Dolan doesn't sound particularly happy with the final product, nor were critics, and there doesn't appear to be U.S. distribution in place yet. I'm still quite curious to see it.
