Taverne Cobra

Have you seen Xavier Dolan’s latest film Juste la fin du monde (It’s Only the End of the World)? Starring an almost all-French cast (Gaspard Ulliel, Nathalie Baye, Vincent Cassel and Marion Cotillard), and based on a play by Jean-Luc Lagarce, the film won the Grand Prix at Cannes this year, but has been receiving mixed/negative reviews. See for yourself at Cinéma du Parc, where it’s screening with English subtitles. 3575 Parc, 2 p.m., 6:45 p.m., 9 p.m., $12/$11 for young adults (14-25) and seniors
