Review of Holy Motors (2012) by Rory P — 18 Dec 2012
This film is like staring at a cannibal leprechaun with an erection.
Such a sight would no doubt be diverting for any man, woman or child. But if there is no in-depth point (beyond one note commentary) And if there is no (how do I put this) genuine cinematic transcendence in the way the image manifests itself, the diversion is shallow and momentary.
A load of overrated shit, basically. A significantly empty style, an unconvincing strut. Bar the odd diversion, this is largely hollow cinema that has been frustratingly championed as proper cinema. Which makes me sad and worried.
