Gay wunderkind Xavier Dolan, still only 25, returns to Cannes for the fourth time with his fifth film, Mommy. This is his first to be in the official competition, against new movies by the Dardennes, Cronenberg, Assayas, Egoyan, Loach, Leigh, and Godard. Capote director Bennett Miller returns with Foxcatcher, the creepy gayish true story of John du Pont and his relationship with the Olympic wrestling brothers, one of whom he murdered, played by Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo. Last year Cannes screened HBO's Behind the Candelabra, but they skipped this year's HBO tale of tragic gays, The Normal Heart.
