New movie list Holy Motors 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. He's 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? -- (C) Official Site Release Date Holy Motors Oct 17, 2012 Limited | |

Review For Holy Motors |
Holy Motors is some kind of wonderful. Chase Whale-Film.com
This is the kind of it-can-mean-whatever-you-want-it-to-mean art film that I usually run from, but Carax is such a prodigiously gifted mesmerist that, if you give way, you're likely to be enfolded in the film's phantasmagoria. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
Holy Motors is wild and unfettered and playful - the work of an artist who carries his love of cinema in his bones, and knows how to share that affection with the audience. Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
This is the most exhilarating cinema ride of 2012, a marvellously mobile mystery trip. Peter Howell-Toronto Star
In "Holy Motors" Carax insists on our other selves. His daylong ride is a wary celebration, a joyful dirge that's served up in concentrated form by a roving band of accordion players. It's all in a day's work. Sheri Linden-Los Angeles Times
As cryptic and unpredictable as that premise might suggest. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader
Surreal and inscrutable, it's visually compelling avante-garde cinema that may leave you wondering, 'What was that about?' Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
It's an absurd, unsafe, inexplicable and unpredictable fantasy... . Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
The intentionally blurry, perhaps non-existent line between so-called 'reality' and fantasy is either something you are willing to endure, or not, in my case. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
Holy Motors é uma declaração de amor ao Cinema, um suspiro de impaciência acerca do Cinema e uma manifestação de desesperança diante do estado atual do Cinema. Uma desesperança que a própria existência do filme se encarrega de suprimir. Pablo Villaca-Cinema em Cena
Mystifying and emotion-stirring, it demands that you bring yourself Marty Mapes-Movie Habit
Go along for the ride Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit
"Holy Motors" is a post-apocalyptic movie, if your idea of the apocalypse was the demise of 35mm film and the rise of YouTube culture. Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Carax has always been an enfant terrible with taste for excess, but Holy Motors, which has just won the L.A. Critics for Best Foreign Film, is his most original, shocking, and entertaining work to date. Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
As playful as it is...Holy Motors has the power to haunt as much as to amuse. Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews
For all its disruptive energy, Holy Motors is also a thing of sublime beauty. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle
It may be the weirdest and most challenging movie to open in Austin this year. It's also oddly moving. Matthew Odam-Austin American-Statesman
As frustratingly opaque as Carax's art film is, Denis Lavant is fantastic in the lead role, as he portrays character after character, all with the utmost credibility. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
I admire the film for thinking out of the box, but it just tries too hard to be weird. It ends up imploding on itself due to its over-ambition. Austin Kennedy-Film Geek Central
If you like a movie that dares you to keep up and that demands your willingness to let some parts of it remain mystifying, "Holy Motors" is a ride worth taking. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
Totally exhilarating and completely bonkers, like if 'Quantum Leap' had been a French art film Stephen Silver-EntertainmentTell
A joyous experience. Alonso Duralde-What the Flick?!
Audiences who care about character and plot are liable to take the exit to a movie that makes sense. Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Despite the millions of dollars fueling 2012's special-effects extravaganzas, I doubt I'll experience anything as exhilarating or memorable this year. Jeffrey Overstreet-Image
If Carax's sorcery doesn't immediately encourage interest in Oscar's fantasyland invasion, trigger the eject button on your seat. Holy Motors is not the type of cinema that should be endured. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
