That last bit at the end of the movie ruined, for me, a possibly enchanting finale. The scene when Marie takes Francis under her umbrella and they start walking together in the rain, in slow-motion was going to be a perfectly poetic and cinematographic ending. The re-encounter with Nicolas, the absurd scream of Francis, the Louis Garrel thing marking a new beginning etc. They were sooo unnecessary, in my opinion.
shareI agree about the umbrella scene, it was really great. But, Marie and Francis aren't portrayed as mature characters; Francis masturbates to Nicholas' shirt and Marie says he was the love of her life. They were in a Cold War-esque conflict in which none of them were straight to Nicholas about their feelings (neither does Nicholas, he did confused them whith his way of being around them; as if provocation was his way of having fun) until it was all screwed up. And that's what I thought Dolan was trying to say in that last scene.
shareI get what you mean, the scream from Francis left me both baffled, scared, and mildly tickled. As for the new guy showing up, I sort of rolled my eyes because it was a bit cheesy in a way.
