One of the best scenes inside Holy Motors—The 2012 Leos Carax drama— is a musical number in which Denis Lavant leads a procession of men on a cover from “Let My Ride Ride” by RL Burnside. It is reminiscent of another exciting musical moment from a previous Carax / Lavant collaboration: the 1986 David Bowie “Modern Love” scene. Bad blood. Then, when Carax announced his follow-up Holy Motors we would be a complete musical film, with music by the Sparks brothers, no more and no less, we certainly were excited, at least. Nine years later Holy Motors he left us the socks, Carax’s first trailer Annette has come:
Annette is Carax’s first English-language effort and stars Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard as a stand-up comedian and a renowned opera singer, respectively, who fall in love and have a beautiful baby lil together. But of course, this is a Leos Carax joint, so things are a little more complicated than all that; there’s also the question of the absolutely awesome Adam Driver. melena of hair. Go away, great wretch Strange of the Lion King.
Annette will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on July 6 and hit American cinemas and the Amazon Prime video sometime later this summer.
