Synopsis

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.

adonis98-743-186503 We see a few seconds of a black and white, silent art film. There is a dark movie theater filled with people watching this film. The camera mostly remains on the audience. Cut to a man sleeping on twin bed with a sleeping dog next to another empty twin bed with the same sheets. He gets up and looks out the window and we see he is next to an airport. Holy Motors was disgusting, stupid and above all just a bad movie. If you really wanna see an artistic way of things and quite underrated movie too go and check out Cronenberg's Cosmopolis from 2012.
teodorodontosaurus I always had this goofy thought while walking outside and observing various people - all those weird homeless guys talking to themselves, people interacting with each other, fights, road rages, intense argues, random conversations etc are enjoyable for me; those guys are doing some solid acting! I like to think that everyone is actually acting, and it's not real. Then, this movie appeared to confirm my theory. What a pleasant surprise this movie was! An alternate reality where actors are using a whole city as a stage (and maybe the whole world?) and where reality mixes with fiction? Yes please! Of course, it's a 100% interpretable movie, so there can be many debates. I have to admit it though; this movie is screaming "let's win the Cannes Film Festival!" I don't like to use the word "pretentious", but this can enter that category; sometimes things get a little forced, but not without a purpose; so this is a good pretentious movie. Also, Denis Lavant was awesome here. If Lynch was a Frenchmen, he would probably release this movie.
Rodrigo Smithian This is a surreal film, a fantasy ride. There's a man, Mr. Oscar who travels in limousine destined to arrive in several locations playing a different bizarre character. In some point, Oscar is a regular human being who is having an argue with his teenage daughter. So what's the point? I've been fooled by trailers. I found disgusting the cemetery monster abducting a model (Eva Mendes. Well this scene is very theatrical and beautiful, but there was a penis showoff so unnecessary. Then, Kylie Minogue sings "Who were we" wait a minute I am in Broadway? I think some theater plays should not meant to be a movie. What's wrong with this "Art Film"-makers? I don't get it. This movie is beautiful, but is tremendously boring.
NaCuFa I HATED this movie. Absolutely HATED it! It is the most pretentious and boring film I have ever seen. It is absolute s**t!The only thing this is good for, is getting blind drunk and laughing at it. Anyone who thinks this is a good film, is a moron. I don't know how anyone could give it any praise whatsoever. It STINKS. It is garbage. A pretentious s**t from start to finish.Do yourself a favor and stay the f**k away from this. Utter crap. I am surprised I stuck it out to the end, because I was ready to tap out after the first 5 minutes. A silly, pretentious, dog**** of a movie.
