Pola X is a 1999 French drama film directed by Leos Carax and starring Guillaume Depardieu, Yekaterina Golubeva and Catherine Deneuve.

Abandoning his home, mother and fiancée, Pierre takes Isabelle to Paris and goes to see Thibault, who bitterly insists he doesn't recognise the man and throws them out.

His publisher warns that his sophomoric pursuit of harsh truths will result in affected and inferior work compared to the youthful innocence that comes naturally to him, and refuses his request for an advance.

She is slapped by an adult stranger after telling random people in the street that they stink, falls, and incurs a head wound she dies from.

Despairing over the doubt in her she fears she has instilled in Pierre, Isabelle attempts suicide and goes to hospital where a vengeful Thibault reveals Lucie's true identity to her.

The soundtrack was produced by Scott Walker and features some instrumental tracks by him, as well as contributions by Sonic Youth and Bill Callahan, who also has a cameo appearance in the film.
