Annette, the new movie from Leos Carax and his first in the English language, has been set as the opening night for the 74th Cannes Film Festival. It will have its world premiere In Competition after the opening ceremony.
The musical stars Marion Cotillard, Adam Driver and Simon Helberg. 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. Pic also features an original soundtrack composed by Sparks.
It will arrive in Cannes nine years after Carax’s Holy Motors premiered at the French festival to acclaim.
