The global curated streaming service MUBI has announced it will exclusively release the hotly anticipated new film from multi-prize-winning filmmaker Xavier Dolan, Matthias & Maxime, on August 28, 2020, across the US, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America (excluding Mexico), and India.
Receiving its premiere in Competition at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, Matthias & Maxime is a quietly understated coming-of-age story as two long-time friends grapple with their sexualities.
Two childhood best friends are asked to share a kiss for the purposes of a student short film.
Matthias & Maxime is the latest feature from writer-director Dolan (Laurence Anyways, Tom at the Farm, Mommy), the Canadian wunderkind whose directorial debut I Killed My Mother premiered at Cannes when the actor/director was just 20.
