Leos Carax Makes "Annette" Masterpiece of Modern Cinema

"Annette" by Leos Carax is an awesome poetic romantic musical drama that is going to become an all time classic in modern cinema.

The cinematography by Caroline Champetier is awesome in poetic imagery of impressionism.  

Adam Driver as "Henry McHenry" and Marion Cotillard as "Ann Defrasnoux" were outstanding in unforgettable performances of their iconic characters of two famous entertainers who became starstruck lovers in Los Angeles, the entertainment capital of the world.

Synopsis:

Present-day Los Angeles. Henry is an outspoken stand-up comedian, Ann a world-famous singer. They’re a happy celebrity couple, living life in the glare of the spotlight, but their world is turned upside-down by the birth of their first child, Annette, a mysterious little girl with an exceptional destiny.

The opening film of the 74th annual Cannes Film Festival is most likely going to win the Palme d'Or. 

I  look forward to seeing it nominated for the Best Picture and other Oscars at the next Academy Awards of the Academy  of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), in 2022.

Friday, August 6, 2021 (Limited)
