Since he turned the film scene upside down with the unclassifiable ‘Holy Motors’, Leox Carax, if we exclude his short film Gradiva, has been subjecting his large legion of followers to almost a decade of drought. A streak of inactivity on the big screen that will be broken in the opening of the 74th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.
As announced by the prestigious contest, ‘Annette’ will be the feature film in charge of kicking off the festival on July 6; date on which the new Carax will also hit French cinemas. With regard to the North American territory, Amazon holds the distribution rights, so it would be expected that it would arrive on its streaming platform after its debut in theaters.
