In 1999, teenage Celeste (Raffey Cassidy) survives a violent tragedy.  After singing at a memorial service, Celeste transforms into a burgeoning pop star with the help of her songwriter sister (Stacy Martin) and a talent manager (Jude Law).  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, secular deity, global superstar.

By 2017, adult Celeste (Natalie Portman) 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 indomitable, foul-mouthed pop savior must overcome her personal and familial struggles to navigate motherhood, madness and monolithic fame in the Age of Terror.

In Brady Corbet's second feature, following his 2015 breakout debut The Childhood of a Leader—winner of the Best Director and Best Debut Film prizes at the Venice Film Festival —Celeste becomes a symbol of the cult of celebrity and the media machine in all its guts, grit and glory.  Featuring original songs by Sia, an original score by Scott Walker, and a transcendent performance by Natalie Portman, personifying and pummeling the zeitgeist, Vox Luxis an origin story about the forces that shape us, as individuals, nations, and gods.

Vox Lux is financed and produced by Bold Films and Andrew Lauren Productions (ALP), written and directed by Brady Corbet. ALP’s Andrew Lauren and D.J. Gugenheim are producers along with Killer Films’ Christine Vachon and David Hinojosa, Bold Films’ Michel Litvak, Gary Michael Walters, David Litvak and Svetlana Metkina and Brian Young from Three Six Zero Entertainment and Robert Salerno. Portman and Law are executive producers along with Sia.
