Directed by Leos Carax, Holy Motors (2012) is a surreal French drama following a mysterious man who travels across Paris while assuming a series of radically different identities and roles. Starring Denis Lavant, the film moves between fantasy, crime, musical and psychological elements as its episodic structure explores performance, identity and modern life. Set across stylized versions of contemporary Paris, the film blends arthouse storytelling with dreamlike imagery and shifting genres. Från IMDB: A man boards a limousine to be driven to his days work: nine mysterious appointments.

Holy Motors (2012)
116 min
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.
