A stand-up comic and opera singer marry and parent a child named Annette, which exists in the film as a marionette puppet. But the relationship takes a tumultuous turn and edges perilously towards an abyss. With a story and songs by iconic musical duo Sparks, Annette is the kind of cinema we have come to expect from Carax (Pola X, Holy Motors), the former enfant terrible of French cinema. It’s barmy, ballsy and beautiful.
