This unclassifiable, expansive movie from the great french auteur Leos Carax operates on the exhilarating logic of dreams and emotions. A mysterious 21st century man of a thousand faces named Oscar transforms into 11 different characters over the course of a single day. He is shuttled from appointment to appointment (including one with Kylie Minogue) in Paris in a white-stretch limo. To summarize the film any further would be to take away some of its magic. Carax could only describe Holy Motors after its world premiere in Cannes as "a film about a man and the experience of being alive."
