Leos Carax's "It's Not Me" explores self-portraiture in cinema, using a mosaic of archival clips, voice-overs, and footage to reflect on his life and career.
The rarity of cinematic selfies stems from the camera's penetrating gaze that few filmmakers can withstand, suggesting that only masters embrace this form of self-exploration.
Carax's film engages with themes of art, politics, family, and cinema, serving as both personal reflection and a broader commentary on the state of filmmaking today.
With a career that began in 1980, Carax has become an outlier in cinema, navigating the challenges of artistic intent against industrial power.
