Mr. X

Jan 20, 2014
L'image d'un cinéaste maudit, mystérieux, solitaire, fuyant aussi bien les médias que le public, colle au personnage de Léos Carax.... En France, aux Etats-Unis ou en Asie, on parle plutôt de ses films et il y est considéré comme l'une des icônes du cinéma mondial. "Mr. X" plonge dans l'univers poétique et visionnaire d'un artiste devenu culte dès son premier film. Documentaire ponctué d'interviews et d'images exclusives, le film se veut avant tout une exploration sensible de l'univers poétique et visionnaire de Léos Carax, alias "Mr. X".

Highlighting one of the most innovative American directors, this film reveals the path traveled by the auteur from his small-town Texas roots to his warm reception on the awards circuit. Long before he directed Boyhood, Richard Linklater’s intense desire to create fueled his work outside the Hollywood system. Rather than leave Texas, he chose to collaborate with like-minded artists crafting modest, low-budget films in a DIY style. His ability to showcase realistic characters and tell honest stories was evident from his films, and others soon took notice of his raw talent.

Martin Scorsese narrates this tribute to Val Lewton, the producer of a series of memorable low-budget horror films for RKO Studios.

He is best remembered for the horror films he made at RKO starting in 1940. Starting with only a title - his first was The Cat People - he would meticulously oversee every aspect of the film's completion. Although categorized as horror films, his films never showed a monster, leaving it all to the viewers imagination, assisted by music, mood and lighting.
