Xavier Dolan wants out

Xavier Dolan Xavier Dolan is thinking of stopping his career!

Indeed, Xavier Dolan has expressed the feeling that he doesn’t necessarily need to tell stories anymore, as well as to express himself in that way, reports the Journal de Montréal.

He explains that he would like to take time to be with his loved ones while possibly continuing to direct commercials… and maybe even build a house in the country!

In fact, he would simply like to live other experiences and the star seems still a but stunned by the cold reception given to his two most recent films, The Death & Life of John F. Donovan and Matthias & Maxime.

The acclaimed director still likes his work, but the long stages of producing a project are clearly starting to weigh heavily on the process.

Xavier Dolan says in the interview reported by JDM and QUB that he could continue if he “could shoot a movie or a series and then disappear,” but ultimately feels he’s “not really cut out for it anymore.”

Time will tell if Dolan likes the good parts of his job enough to stay in it, but that’s not good news for his many fans right now.
