It's Not Me (French: C'est pas moi) is an upcoming 2024 French film written and directed by Leos Carax.[2]
It will have its world premiere in the non-competitive Cannes Premiere section at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May 2024.
Synopsis[edit]
It's Not Me 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 evolution of that time.[3][4]

Production[edit]
The project was first announced in May 2023 by CG Cinéma upon the wrap of principal photography in Paris.[3] Leos Carax reteamed with cinematographer Caroline Champetier and production designer Florian Sanson, both of whom worked on Carax's last two films Annette and Holy Motors.[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.[6][7] 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".[8]
The film was produced by Charles Gillibert at CG Cinéma, who produced 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[edit]
The film was selected to be screened in the non-competitive Cannes Premiere section at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, where it will have its world premiere in May 2024.[9]
The film is set to be theatrically released in 2024 by Les Films du losange.[3]
