Holy Motors (2012)
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.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
The plot is unpredictable, captivating. I have seen some divine choreography. The motion capture dance was unearthly beautiful. I recommend for all who are into surreal and aesthetic imagery. The author has great fantasy
WITHOYT A REALLY PLOT!!!!!OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Contains ONE (maybe 2?) very mild spoiler(s).THIS SITE IS EXHAUSTING unless u have a huge monitor. (sarcasm alert) Could they have found a smaller font? Thank you, IMDb.AS FOR THE FILM, you're ALL correct; and basically nobody cares. They have a life, and Leos and Lavant probably get women we can only dream about.MY THOUGHT - one should only see this movie once, (with the possible exception of the Entracte), as one becomes overly cerebral thereafter. It's sort of like seeing that old lover after 20 years (as in the film). It feels ludicrous, and after meeting again, you really need to go kill yourself. (...as if it weren't predictable anyway)IN OTHER WORDS, I loved Holy Motors the first time, and ho hum thereafter. But I don't understand all the contempt. No one would get this upset over, say, a book of short stories. I like short stories, and I don't demand the book read like a novel.FOR EXAMPLE, I was thrilled (on first viewing) when he came home to his very surprising family, and furthermore it seemed to make perfect sense. On second viewing.., not so much. On the whole, like any book of short stories, some scenes are classic, and I'll watch them over and over.., perhaps until and upon my deathbed. Won't that be fun.ON THE OTHER HAND, what should one make of the fact (as claimed by one reviewer here) that Carax is never seen NOT wearing sunglasses.?? My Adventist pastor says watching this film is a very "soulish" pleasure. It titillates the mind and emotions and imagination, but in the end just leaves you feeling tired and depressed and a little muddy. I think I agree.AND I'VE HEARD it said that in Reality (where we all sadly must dwell), certain unnamed actors in this film is/are really Hellywood Masonic transgenders, essentially living in a perpetual state of deceit and self delusion. So I'm just saying, a film only lasts for, what, 90 minutes? Whereas a lifetime is a long time to live behind sunglasses.IN YOUTH, Juliet Binoche was stunning in Mauvais Sang, but the battle between Reality and her desire to see life artistically just left her looking a tad sour.. imho.cheers😇 [email protected]
I remember going to see this movie, just because of Kylie. I also remember myself going to get a pizza like 10 to 15 minutes after the movie began... because I left.the director last me when the motion capture suit guy was there doing some kind of practice. (I do not think that this should be considered a spoiler.. is part of the backstage I think)anyway... one of the light on the floor of the theater hallway was blinking... and that capture my attention more that what was happening on the screen... so that it... i don't even wait for my favorite celebrity appeared. I knew I was wasting my time there...
