Every year or so, a movie leaves a strong impression on viewers and critics alike. This year, that film seems to be Holy Motors, by Léos Carax and featuring Denis Lavant, both at the top of their art form. The story invites you to join from dawn to dusk Monsieur Oscar, a shadowy character who goes from one life to the next (he is, in turn, captain of industry, assassin, beggar, monster, family man...) on a rollicking, soulful journey by limousine through the streets of Paris for a series of mysterious "appointments". Melding monster movie, film noir, romantic drama, musical, crime thriller, and anime, Léos Carax's mirthful, mind-bending masterpiece of visual masterwork is a ravishing fever dream of becoming, unraveling and starting all over again. Lavant is joined by an international cast featuring Kylie Minogue, Eva Mendes, Edith Scob and French movie legend Michel Piccoli.
