Annette is a 2021 musical drama from director Leos Carax, starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard as a celebrity couple whose glittering life is upended by the arrival of a daughter unlike any other.

What is Annette about?

Henry is a stand-up comedian whose act runs on provocation and a savage wit; Ann is an opera singer whose voice has made her famous across the world. Together they are the couple the cameras adore: attractive, successful, apparently untroubled. Then Ann gives birth to a girl named Annette, and the child turns out to be something extraordinary. What follows traces how fame, jealousy and a family secret pull at the marriage, with the little girl at the centre of an unusual and unsettling destiny. The whole story is sung rather than spoken, with the music and lyrics shaping every scene from the opening number onward.

About the cast

Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard lead the cast, performing much of the material in song. Simon Helberg has a prominent supporting part, and the ensemble includes Rila Fukushima, Devyn McDowell, the Belgian singer Angèle, Rebecca Dyson-Smith and Ron Mael, one half of the band Sparks, who appears on screen as well as contributing to the project.

Context & significance

Leos Carax has long been one of the more distinctive voices in French cinema, and Annette was his first feature made primarily in English. The production is an unusually broad international co-production, with partners in Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Japan, Mexico and Switzerland. At 141 minutes it is a full-length rock opera rather than a conventional musical: dialogue is minimal, and the songs, written with Sparks, carry the narrative. Drama, musical and romance are the catalogue genres, and each is pushed toward the strange and theatrical. Viewers who enjoy bold, stylised filmmaking will find plenty here; those expecting a light Broadway-style musical should adjust their expectations, since the tone is dark and the staging deliberately artificial.
