Sélection Officielle du Festival de Cannes 2021
Leos Carax‘s first English-language film is an rock opera written by pop duo Sparks, starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard.
Annette is the story of a stand-up comedian (Driver) and his opera singer wife (Cotillard) who find their lives unexpectedly upended when they welcome their first child.
“Annette masters its own paradoxes. It’s a highly cerebral, formally complex film about unbridled emotion. A work of art propelled by a skepticism about where art comes from and why we value it the way we do.” – A.O. Scott, New York Times
