Holy Motors 18
From dawn until dusk, Monsieur Oscar travels in a limousine from one life to the next – he is a captain of industry, an assassin, a beggar, a monster, a family man. Holy Motors tears up the rule book of conventional narrative cinema.
Leos Carax returns to cinema after a 13-year hiatus with a brilliant, visually striking film. Apparently inspired by the filmmaker’s fascination with the after hours life of stretch limousines. Boasting a superb central performance from Denis Lavant playing eleven different characters who are all the same person - and a stellar supporting cast including Edith Scob, Eva Mendes and Kylie Minogue.
The surprise hit of the Cannes Film Festival, Holy Motors received rave reviews from UK critics - including five star write-ups from The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw and the Daily Telegraph's Robbie Collin.
