With its collection of strange visuals and a toe tapping soundtrack, it is probably safe to say that if you like your cinema on the weird side, you are going to want to run to the nearest arthouse when Holy Motors drops in. Leaving audiences on the festival circuit delighted and baffled, it is already headed for full on cult-status.
I want to watch this film right now.
Me too.
Also: man, Michel Piccoli. That guy’s in everything!
Thought the trailers for this were actually a bit rubbish when I sought them out post-film but the thing itself is amazing. Probably my film of the year so far.
I saw it last month, it’s bloody fantastic. My review: http://thoughtsonfilm.co.uk/movie-reviews/holy-motors-movie-review/
I really didn’t care for the Minogue musical number in the movie and it drags the trailer too but generally, a pretty good indicator of what one can expect from this batshit piece of movie Art. I haven’t begun to flush it out in my mind but it was a good bit of crazy entertainment.
I don’t really like this trailer much. It gives the impression that the film is just “bat-shit-crazy.” Which it is not. Certainly it’s odd in many moments, but it isn’t just a bunch of crazy visual and strange characters putting on masks and diving into surreal waters. The biggest problem is opening the trailer with a long scene of arguably the weirdest “vignette” in the film then just splashing us with quick snippets from a much larger picture.
I don’t know – just could’ve been cut a little better to represent the movie a bit better and probably get more people to try it.
