Nine years after the remarkable Holy Motors, presented in Competition, Leos Carax will unveil in Cannes his new feature, a film eagerly awaited by cinephiles around the world. Annette, Carax's first film in English, will open the Cannes 74th International Film Festival on Tuesday, July 6th. Set in contemporary Los Angeles, Annette tells the story of Henry, a stand-up comedian with a fierce sense of humor and Ann, a singer of international renown. In the spotlight, they are the perfect couple, healthy, happy, and glamourous. The birth of their first child, Annette, a mysterious girl with an exceptional destiny, will change their lives. Produced by Charles Gillibert, Annette, the director's sixth feature film, based on Carax's original idea, featuring a soundtrack composed by Sparks and starring Marion Cotillard, Adam Driver and Simon Helberg, will premiere internationally and will enter the Competition, following the opening ceremony at the Grand Théâtre Lumière in Cannes' Palais des festivals. It will simultaneously be released in French cinemas. Visionary and enigmatic, Leos Carax has authored some of the most beautiful moments of French cinema in the last 35 years, with a filmography that has never ceased to display his mastery of directing. A poetic genius with an overflowing imagination, "l'enfant terrible" of French cinema has consistently transcended filmic codes and genres to create a world full of visions and ghosts. At the mere age of 24, Carax began a trilogy from which urban and nocturnal beauty emanated in a magical Paris.
