Welcome to another episode of MindFrame(s), the sometimes half-assed but always whole-hearted film conversation. This episode offers Mike Cockerill and I reacting to the gloriously weird Annette, the latest film from the master of the surreal Leos Carax. Starring Adam...

The Toronto International Film Festival is about to launch a retrospective celebrating the work of Holy Motors director Leos Carax, arguably the most important, or at least interesting, working French director. The director's triumphant return to the cinema with Holy...

This was a great year in film for me, for two big reasons. One: great sci-films are making a comeback, ones that care about story, not just explosions. Two: the classical, cause-and-effect narrative, where the audience is led by the...

Amid fiscal cliffs and digital revolutions, we are all adrift on a sea of change. Never mind that your boat-mate may be a hungry Bengal tiger, sometimes it's hard enough just to keep your head above water.To date, I've viewed...

This is it, ladies and gentlemen. 450+ films later, it is time to decide on a top ten of the year, not an easy task I assure you. I've seen a lot of great films this year, and that's made...

With Leos Carax's mighty return to the cinematic medium continuing its U.S. roll out (today it opens in D.C., Chicago and a slew of other metropolitan areas), we've got six new clips to share with you from the film. Not...

People flipped for it at Cannes, they went apeshit for it at Fantastic Fest, heck, even the usually a-rod stiffs of the Upper West Side lovingly embraced its zaniness at the New York Film Fest. And now with Holy Motors...

My top pick of the year (so far), Leos Carax's Holy Motors is a dazzling carousel of emotions, ricocheting from earnest entreaty to ridiculous physical humor to poignant tenderness to revealing intimacy to the silly and absurd. Really, it touches...

Leos Carax, once the wunderkind of French cinema, the heir apparent to the French New Wave, has made only five feature films in his almost 30 year career. He is roaring back to the scene with his fantastical new film...

Leos Carax's Holy Motors won Official In-Competition Fantàstic Selection and Carax also took home the best director award earlier today at the Sitges Film Festival. The film also won awards in two other categories as well: the International Fantastic Film...

One thing is certain: Leos Carax did not build his reputation by making conventional films and now that he's back on the big screen after a lengthy absence from feature films he's not about to change his m.o.Carax's Holy Motors...

Following enormous hype (and no awards) out of Cannes, Leos Carax's Holy Motors has just been released in France, marking the return of one of the most important modern French filmmakers after a thirteen year hiatus. Naturally, the French press...

With so many serious, dramatic and even generic (see Lawless) films in competition at Cannes, director Leos Carax's Holy Motors came as something like a 100 mph gust of fresh air. In fact, this sci-fi/comedy/I-don't-know-what-to-call-it is such a wild, weird...

Leos Carax's Cannes-selected Holy Motors is a weird one. And it's got itself a weird trailer to match. From dawn to dusk, a few hours in the life of Monsieur Oscar, a shadowy character who journeys from one life to...
