""Holy Motors" (Carax, 2012)"
Mon Nov-12-12 05:22 PM by little bredren

  

          

"From dawn to dusk, a few hours in the life of Monsieur Oscar, a shadowy character who journeys from one life to the next. He is, in turn, captain of industry, assassin, beggar, monster, family man…"

Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uuICidzey5c

Has anyone else seen this yet? It's out there.

It was a pretty big hit at Cannes. Denis Levant put in work, in 11 different roles, no less. Playful, batshit insane, sad, and in some ways, a distant relative of Hugo, but more so Synecdoche, New York, 8 1/2 & Inland Empire.

If you're interested, I've compiled some film references, songs, and visuals from the film here: http://recordinglivefromsomewhere.com/2012/11/12/visuals-songs-film-references-from-holy-motors

      There's no question. It wasn't even a "popular" pick here.
