Carax, who has been against nudity in his films, shows the two literally engaging in mutual oral sex onscreen, although this was not included in the original script. This is in sharp contrast to the world Pierre plunges into when he meets Isabelle (Katerina Golubeva), who claims to be his half-sister.
The first part of the film sets an idyllic tone with a fairy tale atmosphere of life among the rich and beautiful. Pierre is shocked, but he decides to believe her and make up for the mistake of his father.The film took its inspiration from Herman Melville's Pierre, or, the Ambiguities, which Carax read when he was 18, the same age as the hero of the story. She tells him in broken French that she is his sister. As he is speeding down the road, a strange creature with a familiar face suddenly leaps from the dark. Overexcited, Pierre rushes through the night to break the news to Lucie. One summer night, his mother tells him that she has chosen a date for his wedding. Pierre is romantically attached to the beautiful and delicate Lucie (Delphine Chuillot) and visits her every morning with the motorcycle he has inherited from his father. The good-looking mother and son are happy, healthy, and wealthy, and they love each other deeply. Pierre (Dépardieu) lives with his mother in Normandy, not far from the banks of the Seine River where Victor Hugo's daughter drowned with her lover. Eight years after Les Amants du Pont Neuf (1991), which failed at the box office, Léos Carax returned with Pola X, a French/German/Swiss co-production with Catherine Deneuve and the young Guillaume Dépardieu in a story of love, incest, and descent into hell.
