Holy Motors

Holy Motors
Country: France Director: Leos Carax
Straight from the 50th New York Film Festival is this mind-blowing film about a shadowy character who travels between parallel lives. Played by Denis Levant, Carax's longtime collaborator, he is by turns, an assassin, a captain of industry, family man, beggar, monster. The envelope-pushing director's first feature since 1999, it competed at this year's Cannes Film Fest to stunned audiences. The Guardian called it, “weird and wonderful, rich and strange – barking mad, in fact.” Features Eva Mendes and Kylie Minogue. (2012; 115 min)
