[Available Aug. 20 on Amazon Prime Video.] Leos Carax's extremely bizarre, creative, risqué, over-the-top, polarizing, slow-paced, star-dotted (Ron Mael, Russell Mael, Leos Carax, and Simon Helberg), 140-minute operatic, rock musical highlighted by weird, repetitive songs in which a famous, redheaded opera singer (Marion Cotillard) and a filthy-mouthed, morose, cynical, unfunny, standup comedian (Adam Driver) fall in love and marry in Los Angeles and quickly give birth, which drastically changes their tumultuous lives when their mysterious, peculiar, puppet daughter (Devyn McDowell) develops magical powers and a stunning singing voice and catapults to worldwide stardom.
