Mr Leos caraX (also known as Mr. X)[1] is a 2014 French documentary film written, directed and produced by Tessa Louise-Salomé[2]. The film premiered in-competition[3] in the World Cinema Documentary Competition at 2014 Sundance Film Festival on January 20, 2014.[4]
The film focuses on the French filmmaker Leos Carax, his work and his reputation in cinema. Though interviews with collaborators and relatives such as Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Harmony Korine and Kylie Minogue, Mr Leos caraX explores the creative process and vision of the French director. The film uses the director’s filmography as a storyline to describe his approach to filmmaking, reinforced by insights from actors and crew members having participated to his lifework, such as Denis Lavant, Mireille Perrier and Eva Mendes.[5]
