(France/2012—directed by Léos Carax)
The first feature film in 13 years
from France’s Léos Carax (Les amants du Pont-Neuf, Boy Meets
Girl) is a visionary, sometimes dark, thoroughly unclassifiable and
altogether stunning fantasy set in a modern, dreamlike Paris. Oscar (Denis
Lavant of Tokyo!) is a mysterious man who inhabits 11 different
characters over the course of a single day and night.
Oscar manages to change
his physical appearance – as well as his identity – as he’s shuttled from
appointment to appointment in a white limousine driven by his associate (played
by the legendary Edith Scob of Eyes Without a Face).
Always surprising,
sometimes shocking, never less than visually astonishing, Holy Motors
is a full-throttle work of the imagination: the product of a mind born to
shatter the boundaries between the motion picture screen and our own limitless
dreams.
Recommended for persons 18 and older.
In French with English subtitles.
