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".

The film constructs its portrait through accretion of myth rather than chronology, relying on rare archival footage and candid interviews with collaborators. It explores the very nature of creative seclusion and public persona.
What lingers after viewing is not a list of facts, but the essence of a cinematic vision, where the personal dissolves into the poetry of the image. A testament to the power of mystery in art. — MovieFinder Editorial

In quiet contemplation, as a cinematic manifesto. Ideally viewed on a large screen.
