Review of Holy Motors (2012) by Chet K — 03 Oct 2012

To attempt to piece together the meaning of the film, I would think will be a difficult task to most. But an intriguing one nonetheless. The masks we wear? the disconnect (or connect) between people? changing role in technology?

I read a quote about the film: "Is the film telling a story? No, its narrating a life. The story of a life? No, the experience of being alive." And for this Holly Motors is a brilliant success. Some of the imagery, clearly evoking cinema history, is mesmerisingly beautiful. Denis Lavant's performance is.. well to be honest no words good justify it.
