Mr. X

Enigmatic, unpredictable, inaccessible yet incredibly talented and ingenious, Leos Carax constitutes an entire capital in the history of world cinema and this documentary is a small tribute to the French master.

Enigmatic, unpredictable, inaccessible yet incredibly talented and ingenious, Leos Carax constitutes an entire capital in the history of world cinema and this documentary is a small tribute to the French master.

With three creative decades under his belt since his debut feature "Boy Meets Girl" - once a promising first film now considered a classic - Carax talks about everyone and everything that haunted his own private universe, from Denis Lavant and Juliette Binoche, to the sublime melodies and the Parisian skyline.

This delicate documentary lives up to its subject, placing interviews with actors, directors and French intellectuals in atmospheric locations with distinct Caraxian overtones, while the director's presence can be felt everywhere, even when he's not on screen.

A must-see for anyone who considers themselves a movie lover, "Mr.X" will recruit new converts to the art of Leos Carax, while leading seasoned fans back to movie theaters to enjoy his masterpieces again and again. Ph.V.
