We follow 24 hours in the life of a being moving from life to life like a cold and solitary assassin moving from hit to hit. In each of these interwoven lives, the being possesses an entirely distinct identity: sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes youthful, sometimes old. By turns murderer, beggar, company chairman, monstrous creature, worker, family man.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film
The first must-see film of the year.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Film Review: "Holy Motors" (2012)Cannes Film Festival in its 65th Edition under jury president director Nanni Moretti alongside fellow U.S. director Alexander Payne, fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier as acting performers Ewan McGregor and Diane Kruger had to make an hardship decision on May 26th 2012 before presenting the "Palme d'Or" to gracefully-received "Amour" (2012) directed by Michael Haneke, when this highly-controversial piece cinema inceptional-conceived by director Leos Carax after more then 12 years of struggle to find another original conception after "Pola X" (1999) to write on in order to present "Holy Motors" as an episodic as unique character-exposing arthouse film with special mesmerizing appearances by Kyle Minogue and Eva Mendes, which are getting completely carried away by the director's long-time friend and fellow brother-in-filmmaking actor Denis Levant, who must transform himself in countless diverse roles as "Mr. Oscar", acting out from stretch limousine through scenarios of defying hypes and social boundaries of any kind, fighting through an artistic society on the verge of collapse due to just an over-poluted landscape of film production vehicles, when "Holy Motors" prevails as being an highly-orginal motion picture to be discovered and talked about for years to come.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
In Leos Carax's bizarre film 'Holy Motors', a man travels around Paris in a giant limousine, exiting periodically to perform strange acts of what could be called performance art, some even ending in murder. In the film's final scene, his car engages in conversation with others. The story could, I guess, be seen as an allegory for the coming of death, although if its intended as such, it's both obvious and not especially coherent. It's weird enough to be diverting, but weird is probably the best single word to summarise it.
What a delightful visual surprise was this movie. Stunning photography. Each single shot is perfect. I wanted to hug the creators. Mass audience could not like it because the typical plot is missing, but in this case it should be totally forgiven, for this is not only a gem in the oniric movie tradition, but in the overall history of cinematography.
I HATED this movie. Absolutely HATED it! It is the most pretentious and boring film I have ever seen. It is absolute s**t!The only thing this is good for, is getting blind drunk and laughing at it. Anyone who thinks this is a good film, is a moron. I don't know how anyone could give it any praise whatsoever. It STINKS. It is garbage. A pretentious s**t from start to finish.Do yourself a favor and stay the f**k away from this. Utter crap. I am surprised I stuck it out to the end, because I was ready to tap out after the first 5 minutes. A silly, pretentious, dog**** of a movie.
