The story of Henry, a stand-up comedian with a fierce sense of humour 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.
This dreamy, over the top rock opera is brought to us by Director Leos Carax (Holy Motors) and the brothers behind the band Sparks (also the subject of an Edgar Wright documentary this year). As one might expect from this pairing, the film is an dramatic, silly, elevating, overwhelming and beautiful experience. Much like the poster art, it hits like a tidal wave.
