Pola X (1999)

Pola X is Leos Carax's dark, brooding drama steeped in obsession and family secrets. It loosely draws from Herman Melville's novel Pierre. The film's tangled, unsettling tone extends to its intimacy, and one clip on site captures that rawness directly. Catherine Deneuve appears in the film's orbit of tension and repression, lending her presence to a production unafraid of discomfort. With just a single scene archived here, it's a brief but telling glimpse. It shows the film's willingness to bare more than its characters' secrets.
