“The Smile of Speed.” Janus Films has unveiled the official US trailer for It’s Not Me, the autobiographic self-portrait short documentary film made by Leos Carax. The mastermind French filmmaker premiered this at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, and it has played at tons of other fests including NYFF, London, Karlovy Vary. The 41-minute biopic film is a “self-portrait of the director and his oeuvre, revisiting in free-form more than 40 years of the author’s filmography.” This autobiography takes a look back at all of his films and his work, and examines politics over time and the art-form of cinema. The intro: “For an exhibition, that in the end never took place, the Pompidou Museum asked the filmmaker to reply, in pictures, to the question: Where are you at, Leos Carax? He attempts an answer – full of questions. About himself and ‘his’ world: I don’t know, but if I did, I’d reply that…” C’est pas moi or It’s Not Me. With Denis Lavant, Kateryna Yuspina, Loreta Juodkaite, Anna-Isabel Siefken, Nastya Golubeva Carax, & Petr Anevskii, plus Bianca Maddaluno. This will be streaming on Criterion Channel in December if anyone wants to watch.
