Wow! I’m in love with this very striking bit of Key Art for Leos Carax’s festival oddity Holy Motors. This is the poster for the North American release, which is very, very soon. The green, yellow,pink colour palette is surprisingly pleasing, and the design certainly communicates that this is not your usual film. And you can never go wrong with neon type-setting.
What many people considered Leos Carax’s early masterpiece — the Juliete Binoche and Denis Lavant starring The Lovers on the Bridge— is on Netflix Watch Instantly. It is on the wrong aspect ration though.

Having heard a lot of critical love and some hate when it came out here in the UK a few weeks ago i’m going to place my bets now.
Kurt will love it, Andrew will love the visuals but find it pointless and Matt Gamble will spontaneously combust with hate.
Personally i’m not bothering with it, having seen two Carax films already this year, Pola X and The Night Is Young and hating both i think i’ll give this a miss.
Plus after The Night Is Young i swore i would never watch anything with that irritating prick Denis Lavant in ever again. Just seeing him in the trailer made me reach for a brick to throw
Denis Lavant is amazing in the Jonathan Glazer directed, Unkle’s Rabbit in Your Headlights music video:

Ultimolee– I agree with you that Gamble will hate it. Except for the Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Gamble hates the French.
I think you are mistaking my love of mocking the French for hating them. I can hate no country that gave me Bernaise.
