Plot

'Vox Lux' follows the rise of Celeste to pop super stardom, taking 18 years of her life. In 1999, teenage Celeste survives a violent tragedy. After singing at a memorial service, Celeste transforms into a burgeoning pop star with the help of her songwriter sister and a talent manager. Celeste's meteoric rise to fame and concurrent loss of innocence dovetails with a shattering terrorist attack on the nation, elevating the young powerhouse to a new kind of celebrity: American icon. By 2017, adult Celeste is mounting a comeback after a scandalous incident that derailed her career. Touring in support of her sixth album, a compendium of sci-fi anthems entitled 'Vox Lux', the pop savior must overcome her personal and familial struggles to navigate motherhood, madness and fame in the Age of Terror.

The movie is directed by Brady Corbet ('Protect You + Me', 'The Childhood of a Leader') and starred by Natalie Portman ('The Death and Life of John F. Donovan', 'Lucy in the Sky'), Jude Law ('A Rainy Day in New York', 'The New Pope'), Stacy Martin ('All the Money in the World', 'The Last Photograph'), Raffey Cassidy ('The Killing of a Sacred Deer', 'Tomorrowland'), Christopher Abbott ('First Man', 'Catch-22'), Jennifer Ehle ('Beneath the Blue Suburban Skies', 'The Professor and the Madman') and Meg Gibson ('It's Freezing Out There', 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'), among others.
