Annette (2021)

I feel like anything I say about this movie won't do it justice, so I'll let it speak for itself. Leos Carax (Holy Motors) directs this rock opera (featuring the music of Ron and Russell Mael from Sparks) about a rocky romance between a stand-up comedian (Adam Driver) and an opera singer (Marion Cotillard) who have a baby. Their baby happens to be a wooden marionette puppet named Annette.
It's weird. It's sad. It's dark. It's tragic. The music is great. Most importantly, it's memorable. My rating is irrelevant. You'll know whether this is for you.
