Leos Carax's Cannes-selected Holy Motors is a weird one. And it's got itself a weird trailer to match.
Carax's first feature since 1999's Pola X, fans will recognize ties to his contribution to 2008's short film omnibus Tokyo here. Take a look below. Denis Lavant, Edith Scob, Eva Mendes (!), Kylie Minogue (!!), and Michele Piccoli star.
From dawn to dusk, a few hours in the life of Monsieur Oscar, a shadowy character who journeys from one life to the next. He is, in turn, captain of industry, assassin, beggar, monster, family man...
He seems to be playing roles, plunging headlong into each part - but where are the cameras?
Monsieur Oscar is alone, accompanied only by Céline, the slender blonde woman behind the wheel of the vast engine that transports him through and around Paris. He¹s like a conscientious assassin moving from hit to hit.
In pursuit of the beautiful gesture, the mysterious driving force, the women and the ghosts of past lives.
But where is his true home, his family, his rest?
