About Vox Lux
Official Description: An unusual set of circumstances brings unexpected success to a pop star.
Vox Lux comes from writer/director Brady Corbet who might look familiar since he’s had a longer acting career than a directing one. Corbet’s been in front of the camera in Funny Games or 24 and a lot more having started his acting career when he was 11-years-old. Here, Corbet is directing only his second feature film, and it’s based on a story he wrote.
