Immerse yourself once again in the visual and musical magic of Leos Carax's haunting Annette (2021) with this essay on the film’s oxymoronic and romantic universe. The representation of the young Annette as a puppet is both the crux of her story and a reflection of the film: a strange tale enhanced by a noir style that sublimates the images and reflects the tragic fate of the protagonists. The book focuses on the characters and their performers, the photography, the staging, the sound, the musicality and the wonder of a film that explores drama and questions the condition of the artist. Philosophy, psychoanalysis, art history and film aesthetics are drawn upon, always in relation to the film's material and the questions it raises: the sublime, beauty, uncanny strangeness, death and haunting. The originality of the book lies in its use of previously unpublished sources: interviews with Caroline Champetier, Katia Boutin, Pierre-Marie Dru and Sparks.
