“The Unhoped For.” Les Films du Losange in France has revealed a first look trailer (with English text) for the latest unique Leos Carax film titled It’s Not Me. This just premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and opens in France this June. The 41-minute biopic short doc film is a “self-portrait of the director and his oeuvre, revisiting in free-form more than 40 years of the author’s filmography.” This autobiography takes a look back at all of his films and his work, and examines politics over time and the art-form of cinema. The intro: “For an exhibition, that in the end never took place, the Pompidou Museum asked the filmmaker to reply, in pictures, to the question: Where are you at, Leos Carax? He attempts an answer – full of questions. About himself and ‘his’ world: I don’t know, but if I did, I’d reply that…” C’est pas moi or It’s Not Me. With Denis Lavant, Kateryna Yuspina, Loreta Juodkaite, Anna-Isabel Siefken, Nastya Golubeva Carax, and Petr Anevskii, plus Bianca Maddaluno. Not much footage yet, but enough to make me intrigued. I want to watch.
