Since its first broadcast on German–French TV channel Arte in 2001, this now legendary alternative extended version of Carax’s polarising 1999 avant-garde horror film Pola X has rarely screened. A loose adaptation of Herman Melville’s extraordinary 1852 novel, it follows a wealthy young novelist (Guillaume Depardieu) who is shadowed by a mysterious woman (Katerina Golubeva) claiming to be his sister.
Reconceived as a three-part miniseries paying homage to the serials of Carax’s youth, this brand-new restored version contains new sequences and, according to the director, is closer to his original conception. Featuring Catherine Deneuve and a memorable score by Scott Walker.
