A stand-up comedian (Adam Driver) and his opera singer wife (Marion Cotillard), have a 2-year-old daughter with a surprising gift.

Los Angeles, nowadays. Henry is a stand-up comedian with a fierce humour. Ann, an internationally renowned opera singer. Together, under the spotlight, they form a happy and glamorous couple. The birth of their first child, Annette, a mysterious girl with an exceptional destiny, will turn their lives upside down. A dreamy, delicate dance between farce and fantasia, ‘Annette’ is a magnificently ludicrous rock opera whose experimental approach to its emotional extremes is an ambitious, if not peculiar, return for director Leos Carax. Story & music by Ron & Russell Mael of Sparks, this original musical is a journey of love, passion & fame. Selected as the opening night for the 2021 Cannes Film Festival in July. France 2021 Leos Carax 139m

Have you thought about volunteering at the cinema?

We have a thriving group of volunteers who perform ushering duties for each performance. Our ushers give half an hour of their time before the film to assist ticketholders entering the auditorium. In exchange they get to watch the film for free! Volunteers choose which films they would like to usher, and they can do as many or as few as they like. Ushering is sociable and enjoyable and also a vital part of the cinema’s operation. Contact Operations Manager Richard Warburton by email: richard@chichestercinema.org
