'It's Only the End of the World': Dolan's fraught, flawed family affair
The word gets bandied around a lot, but genuine cinematic "auteurs" are a rare breed. It's easy to understand the excitement that Xavier Dolan inspires, even before you've watched any of his gloriously overheated films. The Quebecois director — who also writes, edits and sometimes stars in his movies, as well as designs costumes — has had five premieres at Cannes, and he's still only 27.

"Blood Ties" feels a lot like a film made by someone who grew up on a diet of gritty 1970s crime flicks set in New York, made by the likes of William Friedkin, Sidney Lumet, and Martin Scorcese.

Audiard's method: as slow and steady as the waves
My first impression of director Jacques Audiard is that he's almost as wired as the street-punk hero of his film "The Beat That My Heart Skipped," fidgeting in his chair, desperate for a smoke, jumping in mid-translation to clarify a point. Entering his sixth decade, Audiard shows no signs of slowing down, and if anything his films just keep getting better. "Rust and Bone," only his sixth film in a 20-year directing career, is opening wide in Japan — thanks in part to his locally popular star Marion Cotillard — and may finally move the director well beyond his art-house fan base.
