It’s now official, and it comes straight from him. In an Instagram post on Friday afternoon, filmmaker Xavier Dolan confirmed that he wanted to move on.
Thursday morning, the Spanish daily El Mundo announced via an interview that the 34-year-old director was retiring from cinema. A few hours later, the principal concerned claimed that his remarks had been badly reported.
For a little over 24 hours, many people speculated about the real direction that Xavier Dolan would take. What had been misreported, exactly? Was Dolan truly retiring or not?
I said I wanted to quit making movies, and I feel at peace with that decision.

“However, I am currently involved in television projects, and I intend to keep my word if given a chance,” he added.
