A moving world of spirits and ghosts, condemned to brush against one another without really meeting since they have all emerged from a single perpetual dream: that of a young man who no longer wants to wake up, immersed as he is in this world of fascinating spectres.

A ballet dancer is late for an audition for a show inspired by Plato's Allegory of the Cave. She arrives with her seven-year-old son, Jay, and begs the director to give her a chance.

讲述一个女人在舞台上失去了精湛的表演能力，然后试图不断地用自杀的手段来满足自己的性欲快感。影片一开场让人回想起伯格曼的经典作品《假面》，导演用29个几乎没有任何对白的“单个镜头”描述女主角向前移动，再加上前“地下丝绒”乐队主唱John Cale的配乐，创造出出一种恐怖而极端的独特戏剧方式。

Leos Carax's 1997 short film "Sans Titre" which was made for the Cannes Film Festival and to gain funds for "Pola X"

In Paris, a young American working as a Michael Jackson lookalike meets Marilyn Monroe, who invites him to her commune in Scotland, where she lives with Charlie Chaplin and her daughter, Shirley Temple.

A descendant of Shakespeare tries to restore his plays in a world rebuilding itself after the Chernobyl catastrophe obliterates most of human civilization.

The image of a mysterious, solitary filmmaker - a cineaste maudit - who flees from both the media and the public, is unrelentingly bound to the figure of Leos Carax, in France. Elsewhere, the real focus is on his films and he is considered to be an icon of world cinema. Mr.X dives into the poetic and visionary world of an artist who was already a cult figure from his very first film. Punctuated by interviews and unseen footage, this documentary is most of all a fine-tuned exploration of the poetic and visionary world of Leos Carax, alias "Mr.X".
