Annette (2021)

£0.00


Country: FR/BEL/GER/US/JAP/MEX/SW
Technical: col 141m
Director: Leos Carax
Cast: Adam Driver, Marion Cotillard, Simon Helberg

Synopsis:

A provocative comedian moves in with a superstar opera singer and together they ride the wave of fame, but the self-loathing of his act is no match for her sublimity and he turns into a destructive drunk.

Review:

The director indulges another torment over excess of love, with music by Sparks. The latter has its effective 'Philip Glass operatic' moments but is mostly a tuneless dirge, while the camera swoops and pirouettes around a valiant cast in thrall to a puppet. The comment on celebrity falls resoundingly flat, there is zero chemistry between the leads and the only interesting character is marginalised.
