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".

1975 год. Клод Ланцманн снимает в Риме фильм о Беньямине Мурмельштейне, последнем председателе Еврейского Совета гетто Терезиенштадт, единственном «еврейском старейшине», не погибшем на войне. После аннексии Австрии Германией в 1938 г. Мурмельштейн, бывший венский раввин, неделю за неделей, в течение семи лет ведет борьбу с Эйхманом. Ему удалось добиться разрешения на отъезд 121 000 евреев и избежать ликвидации гетто. В 2012 г. 87-летний Клод Ланцманн не прячет признаков разрушительного действия времени на людей и остается верен своей теме, вновь возвращаясь к римским беседам. Картина повествует о Терезиенштадте — городе, «подаренном Гитлером евреям», насквозь фальшивом «образцовом гетто», выбранном Адольфом Эйхманом для предъявления мировой общественности.

HANNAH ARENDT is a portrait of the genius that shook the world with her discovery of “the banality of evil.” After she attends the Nazi Adolf Eichmann’s trial in Jerusalem, Arendt dares to write about the Holocaust in terms no one has ever heard before. Her work instantly provokes a furious scandal, and Arendt stands strong as she is attacked by friends and foes alike. But as the German-Jewish émigré also struggles to suppress her own painful associations with the past, the film exposes her beguiling blend of arrogance and vulnerability — revealing a soul defined and derailed by exile.
