Holy Motors is a surreal and visually stunning French film directed by Leos Carax. The film follows Monsieur Oscar (Denis Lavant), a mysterious man who travels around Paris in a white stretch limousine, disguised as different characters and performing various roles.
Throughout the film, we witness Oscar transform into different personalities, including a beggar woman, an insane troll, a motion-capture actor, and even a dying old man. With each transformation, Oscar is given a new mission or "appointment" to complete, which ranges from artistic performances to violent murders.
The film also features notable appearances from Eva Mendes and Kylie Minogue, who both play key roles in some of Oscar's appointments.
As the film progresses, it becomes unclear whether or not Oscar is a human being or something else entirely. The line between reality and fantasy is blurred, as we witness Oscar's bizarre and often surreal experiences.
Holy Motors is a breathtaking exploration of identity, performance, and the nature of existence. The film is both incredibly entertaining and thought-provoking, leaving the viewer with lasting questions about what it truly means to be alive.
