Holy Motors (2012) -- L. Carax
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).
