Za izložbu koja se na kraju nikada nije ostvarila, Centar Pompidou zamolio je redatelja da slikama odgovori na sljedeća pitanja: "Leos Carax, gdje ste?" On pokušava odgovoriti - pun pitanja. O sebi i "svom" svijetu: "Ne znam, ali kad bih znao, odgovorio bih da..." To nisam ja autoportret je Leosa Caraxa u slobodnoj formi koji nam prikazuje likove iz njegova opusa. Kao pregled njegove 40-godišnje filmografije, zastaje na ključnim trenucima karijere te ujedno prikazuje politički razvoj vremena. Film, pun referenci i utjecaja, od F. W. Murnaua to Jeana Vigoa i Godarda, osobni je manifest u kojem se film, povijest i stvarni život preklapaju te u kojem autor pokušava smjestiti svoj rad u široj putanji kinematografije.

Leos Carax
Leos Carax is one of the most inventive and acclaimed auteurs in French cinema. A former critic at Cahiers du Cinéma, he transitioned to directing in the early 1980s and immediately established himself as a revelation with two films that became cult classics, Boy Meets Girl and Mauvais Sang, both emblematic of the post-New Wave revival in french cinema.
This was followed by The Lovers on the Bridge and Pola X, which confirmed the precocious genius of Leos Carax, whose romantic art and formal experiments were now recognized worldwide.
Several rumors and strokes of fate will then build the legend of a unique artist, until his big comeback at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012 with the film Holy Motors, considered by part of the international press (IndieWire, Les Inrockuptibles) as the second most important film of the 21st century.
In 2021, his film Annette, starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard, opened the Cannes Film Festival, where he won the award for Best Director.
