Through Jacquet's camera, the audience will become the fox: will enter its skin, share its senses, experience the dangers it faces, perceive the images and sounds that surround it.

Mister Lonely - Harmony Korine

A lonely Michael Jackson impersonator wanders the streets of Paris in search of something grand when he meets an enchantingly beautiful Marilyn Monroe, who invites Michael to join her at a commune, solely inhabited by other impersonators in the Scottish Highlands. At the commune, Michael and Marilyn prepare alongside her overzealous husband Charlie Chaplin, the Queen of England, Abraham Lincoln, Sammy Davis Jr., and a host of other impersonators for a star-studded stage show that will illuminate and dazzle their admirers. In a parallel storyline, a Latin American priest, Father Umbrillo (the legendary Werner Herzog) and his missionary of nuns literally soar through the sky in search of their own answers.
