Annette is a musical about “a stand-up comedian whose opera singer wife is deceased,” according to IMDB, which depicts “the rise and fall of an intense love story” (Variety). Despite the fact that we are full-up on TV and movies about white male stand-up comedians and their “plight,” this one is intriguing: Rihanna has officially joined the production as, presumably, a singer, and the brooding, gangly Adam Driver is hardly someone you’d peg as a typical stand-up type from, say, a Judd Apotow production. Also, Annette will be helmed by French director Leos Carax, whose last full-length film, Holy Motors (2012), was a bonkers visual mindfuck that made little sense but sure was pretty to look at.
