Holy Motors
We follow 24 hours in the life of a being moving from life to life like a cold and solitary assassin moving from hit to hit. In each of these interwoven lives, the being possesses an entirely distinct identity: sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes youthful, sometimes old. By turns murderer, beggar, company chairman, monstrous creature, worker, family man.

Sorry, this movie sucks
Blistering performances.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Blistering performances.
"What made me start, the beauty of the act." - Mr. Oscaran old man just woke up from his sleep inside a windowless room, he take his cigarette, light it on and start to walking around the room. not long, he aware there's some strange sounds outside his room and start to looking for a door for wich he meant to find out where is the strange sounds came from. he finally found one wall that have a key hole in it, hidden by a wallpaper. he open the door with a key that attached on his finger -it's not only attached, it has been part of his fingers, actually-, take his suitcase and walk outside the room where he step on stairs just to find a teather room full of audience watching an old silent movie wich all the people inside that theater is so quiet and without making any movement whatsoever.now.. that was only the opening scene of this movie. it was very surreal, that everyone who watched this movie is free to interpret what's the meaning of holy motors is. some might say it's a story about a man who makes a living by becoming someone else, acting. others said that it's a story about a transformation that an actor must do on the movie.. and other people might tell you, that this movie was all about how a director shows you the life of film stars and the role they played.there's a bit David Lynch taste in it but not as complicated and as dark as Lynch's works i think. and that makes this movie can be so boring af for some people, or you can be so much in love with this masterpiece right from the start.holly momma.. what did i just watch?!!!
Beautiful film, with an arresting performance by Denis Lavant and a bizarre cameo by Kylie Minogue, who seems to have developed quite a belter of a voice over the years.Reminded me a little of David Lynch at times - a filmmaker who's not concerned with plot or meaning so much as presenting images he finds interesting.Anyway, if you're interested in VISUALS, cinematography, dry European humour and whatnot, definitely put this on your list. Verdict: Don't try and make sense of it: just enjoy this sumptuous filmmaking.yetanotherfilmreviewblog.tumblr.com
I HATED this movie. Absolutely HATED it! It is the most pretentious and boring film I have ever seen. It is absolute s**t!The only thing this is good for, is getting blind drunk and laughing at it. Anyone who thinks this is a good film, is a moron. I don't know how anyone could give it any praise whatsoever. It STINKS. It is garbage. A pretentious s**t from start to finish.Do yourself a favor and stay the f**k away from this. Utter crap. I am surprised I stuck it out to the end, because I was ready to tap out after the first 5 minutes. A silly, pretentious, dog**** of a movie.
Leos Carax comes back after a 13 year hiatus to present us with a beautifully weird, absurdist film, which is both 'a tribute to cinema' as well as 'an ode to film (celluloid)'. It doesn't have a linear story or much of a plot, and doesn't make much sense in its entirety. But there's something oddly delightful about it, and keeps you intrigued till the very end. It is unlike anything one has seen before. There are various film references in the movie which would keep cinephiles amazed.Shakespeare says, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts." This movie is like a literal adaptation of that text; it follows an actor named Mr. Oscar, who dons one role after the other, in actual settings, in front of seemingly invisible cameras. It compares an actor's roles to real-life roles, and the themes tackled are similar too - love, sex, despair, death, etc. And in his journey, we also come across various genres of films. What does it mean to be an actor? How is it costing one? Till what does one have to go to make it feel authentic? These are just few of the questions it makes us wonder. And other than the screenplay, it's the brilliant performance of talented actor Denis Lavant that makes us wonder that. All the sequences have something to offer; they move you, make you laugh, or make you think.Few notable film references: - 'Mon Oncle' (the interior of first house) - 'Lovers on the Bridge' (Beggar sequence, La Samaritaine) - 'Mauvais Sang' (motion-capture sequence with red & white lines scrolling in the background) - 'Tokyo!' (the pseudo-leprechaun Merde; he also eats sushi before performing it) - monster movies like 'King Kong' and 'Godzilla' (Merde picking up the model; the original score from 'Godzilla') - 'Underground' (Accordion scene) - 'Breathless' (The name 'Jean', as in Jean Seberg, Kylie Minogue's hairstyle, the mention about lost baby, suicidal tendency) - 'The Umbrellas of Cherbourg' (Kylie's singing sequence) - 'Cremaster 5' (Kylie's dive backwards from the building) - 'Max Mon Amour' (being married to monkey) - 'Eyes Without a Face' (the same actress, the same mask), which is both 'a tribute to cinema' as well as 'an ode to film (celluloid)'. It doesn't have a linear story or much of a plot, and doesn't make much sense in its entirety. But there's something oddly delightful about it, and keeps you intrigued till the very end. It is unlike anything one has seen before. There are various film references in the movie which would keep cinephiles amazed.
