Filmed in Canada, a podcast about Canadian movies.

On our belated Valentine's Day podcast we fall for Les amours imaginaires. Xavier Dolan's second film, aka Heartbeats, casts a romantic spell that makes our hosts swoon. Comparisons with Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Wong Kar-wai and Quentin Tarantino are just the beginning. A fun version of the song "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" can be seen in this clip from the short film A Summer Dress.
