Annette Explained: The secret behind Leos Carax, Sparks and Adam Driver's movie musical
Annette is a movie musical directed by Leos Carax, written by Ron and Russell Mael of art-rock band Sparks, and starring Adam Driver, Marian Cotillard and Simon Helberg. In this video essay, I offer an alternative explanation for what this film is about, and it's meta as hell. My theory is that the movie's plot is an allegory for the screenwriting process followed by the Carax and the sparks brothers. Adam Driver singing, So May We Start, Mais oui, now start, you used to laugh.
