Holy Motors has had much written about it, in many places and is hard to describe... a car trip around Paris taking the occupant from one strange encounter to the next, where the occupant changes his persona at each stop; is he just an actor going from one job to the next? Is it a dream? Or maybe an homage to film making? The director, Leos Carax has always been an enigma, bringing us 'Les amants du Pont-neuf' and 'Pola X' amongst others, but this film has the most critical acclaim of all; here are just a few of the critics reviews -
'Holy Motors, fuelled by pure feeling, is a dream of a movie you want to get lost in. '
'It's the coolest and strangest movie of the year, and once it gets its druglike hooks in your brain, you'll never get them out again.'
'Despite the millions of dollars fuelling 2012's special-effects extravaganzas, I doubt I'll experience anything as exhilarating or memorable this year. '
'Holy Motors is some kind of wonderful. '
'For all its disruptive energy, Holy Motors is also a thing of sublime beauty. '
Why not come long for the ride!
