The director of LES AMANTS DU PONT NEUF returns with an even more audacious display of cinematic fireworks, set to a soundtrack by Scott Walker. Based on Herman Melville¹s novel Pierre; or The Ambiguities, POLA X follows the fortunes of a young novelist from an upper class family. Pierre enjoys an unusually close relationship with his beautiful mother and is happily engaged to a wealthy young woman. But a not so chance encounter with a beautiful, haunted refugee shocks him into an abandonment of privilege in favour of the life of a struggling artist.
