Mladi pisatelj se po dvanajstih letih odsotnosti vrne domov, da bi družino seznanil z vestjo o svoji bližnji smrti. A družinsko popoldne se kaj kmalu sprevrže v vojno vihro zamer, grenkobe, osamljenosti in dvomov, vsak poskus sočutne geste pa konča pod težo dejstva, da ti ljudje ne znajo ne poslušati ne ljubiti.

Samo konec sveta je komorna drama »o tem, kaj se zgodi, ko ne znamo komunicirati«. Xavier Dolan (Ubil sem svojo mamo, Namišljene ljubezni) je za priredbo istoimenske gledališke igre na festivalu v Cannesu prejel veliko nagrado žirije. [Kinodvor]

[ENG]

Winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes, Xavier Dolan’s Juste la fin du monde is a magnificent, thunderous drama about home and familial roots. Louis (Gaspard Ulliel) is a terminally ill writer who has come home after 12 years away to tell his family he is dying. It’s the proverbial prodigal’s return, except that Louis’ family is not so ready to forgive him. His arrival precipitates chaos. His mother (Nathalie Baye) has tried to keep her family together despite their struggles in the wake of Louis’ departure, and his tempestuous siblings (Vincent Cassel and Léa Seydoux) and introverted sister-in-law (Marion Cotillard) have their own crosses and grudges to bear. The group deconstructs a life’s worth of damaged family dynamics, and the writer becomes a mostly silent observer. Dolan gives the source play by Jean-Luc Lagarce a stunningly stylized adaptation, shooting almost entirely in intense close-ups. It’s a bold aesthetic choice that gets to the heart of the characters’ experience: their buried memories, their heavy sadness, and, ultimately, their profound love for each other.
