Annette

• Drama
• Romance

A rock opera unfolds with unsettling intimacy, charting the fractured dynamic between a provocative stand-up comedian and a celebrated opera singer following the birth of their uniquely gifted—and unsettling—daughter, Annette. Presented through a deliberately artificial aesthetic, utilizing puppet representation for the child, the film dives into the dark undercurrents of celebrity, obsession, and the corrosive effects of public image. What begins as a visually striking, almost whimsical exploration of unconventional love spirals into a haunting, increasingly surreal descent into jealousy, betrayal, and the desperate attempt to control a narrative spiraling beyond recognition. The narrative doesn’t offer easy answers, instead dwelling in the isolating grief and moral ambiguity of a man grappling with the unraveling of his life, punctuated by moments of raw, performative anguish and culminating in a shockingly defiant act born from profound loss.
