I haven't seen Cosmopolis but I want to see the Freud/Jung Cronenberg more.
Holy Motors is absolutely awesome. It's original, it's thought-provoking, visually amazing and so interesting it hurts.
Pretty small snobby crowd at the TIFF Bell Lightbox where I saw this yesterday.
We got an eyeful and earful of ENFANT TERRIBLE Leos Carax, a man to watch.
I've never seen any of his films. This was the first. And it rocked my world with its originality and just sheer ballsiness.
Entrancing movie. Mr. Oscar's "assignments" (acting jobs or personal fantasy?- all arranged by major domos like Celine, his former dancer chauffeur)- WOWZA!
He says he's does these assignments "for the Beauty of the Act" when asked if he enjoys his work anymore.
All in all, it's very hard to recommend this to the lay man.
You need to like esoteric and avant-garde cinema in order to appreciate this bad boy, because it is an ART SHOW all the fucking way.
I don't even really want to describe it to anyone. Just see the fucking thing. And tell me what YOU make of it. Ha HA HA.
