Review of Holy Motors (2012) by Art S — 09 Mar 2013

If Leos Carax's goal was to make indelible images that lodge in your mind, then I think he has succeeded (the name-dropping of Diane Arbus is not for nothing). If he wanted to create the kind of film where (motivated) viewers attempt heroically to divine a plot out of the headlong series of "appointments" but end up only scratching their heads, then he has also succeeded.

Holy Motors is never predictable and Denis Lavant is remarkable (and often scary) as the protagonist who transforms himself from one person to the next...endlessly? (Only the limos know).
