Tom at the Farm
An improbably exciting match of knife-edge storytelling and a florid vintage aesthetic best represented by Gabriel Yared's glorious orchestral score.
Tom at the Farm
After the sudden death of his lover, Guillaume (Caleb Landry Jones, Heaven Knows What), Tom (Xavier Dolan, Mommy, Heartbeats, I Killed My Mother), travels from his home in the city to a remote country farm for the funeral. Upon arriving, he’s shocked to find that Guillaume's family knows nothing about him and was expecting a woman in his place. Torn between his own grief and that of the family, Tom keeps his identity a secret but soon finds himself increasingly drawn into a twisted, sexually-charged game by Guillaume’s aggressive brother (Pierre-Yves Cardinal), who suspects the truth. Stockholm syndrome, deception, grief, and savagery pervade this psychological thriller from filmmaker Xavier Dolan.
