We missed this yesterday when we announced the opening film for the 2021 Cannes Film Festival but here’s the trailer for the fantastic-looking Annette, which will open the festival this July. Leos Carax directs the feature.
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.
Produced by Charles Gillibert, Annette, the director’s sixth feature film, based on Carax’s original idea, featuring a soundtrack composed by Sparks and starring Marion Cotillard, Adam Driver and Simon Helberg, will premiere internationally and will enter the Competition, following the opening ceremony at the Grand Théâtre Lumière in Cannes’ Palais des festivals. It will simultaneously be released in French cinemas.
Here’s the trailer courtesy of the film’s French distributor UGC Distribution. They will debut the film on 6th July, the same day as the opening of this year’s Cannes festival.
