It's Not Me (French: C'est pas moi) is an upcoming French film written and directed by Leos Carax.[2]

Synopsis

C'est pas moi is self-portrait written in the first person. It is described by CG Cinéma as a "free-form" and "cut-up" film which features Leos Carax rediscovering the figures from his oeuvre. Traversing his 40-year filmography, it visits the decisive moments of his career, while capturing the political eveolution of that time.[3][4]

Cast

  • Leos Carax[1]
  • Denis Lavant

Production

The project was first announced in May 2023 by CG Cinéma upon the wrap of principal photography in Paris.[3] Leos Carax reteamed with two collaborators who worked on his last two films Annette and Holy Motors: the director of photography Caroline Champetier and the production designer Florian Sanson.[2]

The first stills from the production indicate the return of Monsieur Merde, a character played by Denis Lavant in Holy Motors (2012) and the segment Merde of the omnibus film Tokyo! (2008). In the same photos, Carax is seen acting in the film with matching red hair and a goatee.[5][6] In August 2023, during a masterclass at the 27th Lima Film Festival, Carax described it as an "essay" film and revealed it will be under an hour in length. He called it a very low-budget film made "without pressures".[7]

The film was produced by Charles Gillibert at CG Cinéma, who produced by Carax's previous film Annette. It is co-produced by Arte France Cinéma and Théo Films, in collaboration with Scala Films, in association with the French fashion house Chanel.[3]

Release

The film is set to be theatrically released in 2024 by Les Films du losange.[3]
