Vox Lux

Synopsis

In 1999, an American girl named Celeste survives a mass shooting at her school, and marks the harrowing tragedy with a heartfelt song she’s written at the memorial service. Her rendition is filmed, however, which results in Celeste becoming an unlikely international pop star, with a meteoric rise to stardom over the next couple of years. Flash forward to 2017 and Celeste – as popular as ever, but now with obvious addiction issues and struggling with the pressure of fame – attempts to re-connect with the daughter she rarely sees while preparing for her a comeback concept album. ‘Vox Lux’ is an ambitious exploration of mental health, celebrity culture and the modern world from young directing talent Brady Corbet.
