Holy Motors
Homage to Leos Carax
From dawn to dusk, a few hours in the life of Monsieur Oscar, a mysterious man who journeys from one life to the next, while being chauffeured around Paris in a limousine by a loyal driver. He is, in turn, assassin, beggar, monster, family man. He seems to be playing roles—but where are the cameras?
Leos Carax
Leos Carax is one of the most inventive and acclaimed auteurs in French cinema. A former critic at Cahiers du Cinéma, he transitioned to directing in the early 1980s and immediately established himself as a revelation with two films that became cult classics, Boy Meets Girl and Mauvais Sang. This was followed by The Lovers on the Bridge, Pola X and Holy Motors, considered by part of the international press as the second most important film of the 21st century. In 2021, his film Annette opened the Cannes Film Festival, where he won the award for Best Director.
