Jazzy_san "What made me start, the beauty of the act." - Mr. Oscaran old man just woke up from his sleep inside a windowless room, he take his cigarette, light it on and start to walking around the room. not long, he aware there's some strange sounds outside his room and start to looking for a door for wich he meant to find out where is the strange sounds came from. he finally found one wall that have a key hole in it, hidden by a wallpaper. he open the door with a key that attached on his finger -it's not only attached, it has been part of his fingers, actually-, take his suitcase and walk outside the room where he step on stairs just to find a teather room full of audience watching an old silent movie wich all the people inside that theater is so quiet and without making any movement whatsoever.now.. that was only the opening scene of this movie. it was very surreal, that everyone who watched this movie is free to interpret what's the meaning of holy motors is. some might say it's a story about a man who makes a living by becoming someone else, acting. others said that it's a story about a transformation that an actor must do on the movie.. and other people might tell you, that this movie was all about how a director shows you the life of film stars and the role they played.there's a bit David Lynch taste in it but not as complicated and as dark as Lynch's works i think. and that makes this movie can be so boring af for some people, or you can be so much in love with this masterpiece right from the start.holly momma.. what did i just watch?!!!

Charles Camp I'm kind of shocked I didn't love this. I have a huge penchant for surrealist filmmaking and my current top four favorite films all have varying degrees of surrealism, most notably Bergman's Persona and Lynch's Mulholland Dr. (the others are The Shining and 2001: A Space Odyssey, if you're curious). Given the hype behind this film from critics and cinephiles alike as one of the best avant-garde and surrealist works of the current decade, I thought this would be a surefire winner for me. Sadly, I just didn't connect with it in the way others have seemed to.It is certainly interesting as a piece of existentialist filmmaking that ruminates over how easy it is for people to become lost in the various "roles" they play as well as humanity's endless search for worth, meaning, and purpose. But there's just something about the execution of the film that didn't appeal to me. It had a very detached quality and although it showed me a lot of striking images, it failed to compel me intellectually or emotionally. It's hard to pinpoint why that may have been the case as abstract films like this have no rules and thus no clear recipe for success to follow. It was likely the combination of many things, though I feel chief among them was an overall lack of forward momentum or intrigue. The film is very fragmented and episodic by design, and I felt that while each "episode" was a mildly interesting vignette, the film didn't weave them together in a way that generated a sense of propulsion or growth towards a bigger picture. Yes, the existentialist musings of the film did become more apparent as it progressed and it didn't feel entirely directionless by any means, but I just didn't find that progression terribly compelling or satisfying as it was. Perhaps it'll click with me more on a future viewing should I decide to return to it.Light 3/5

ConsistentlyFalconer Beautiful film, with an arresting performance by Denis Lavant and a bizarre cameo by Kylie Minogue, who seems to have developed quite a belter of a voice over the years.Reminded me a little of David Lynch at times - a filmmaker who's not concerned with plot or meaning so much as presenting images he finds interesting.Anyway, if you're interested in VISUALS, cinematography, dry European humour and whatnot, definitely put this on your list. Verdict: Don't try and make sense of it: just enjoy this sumptuous filmmaking.yetanotherfilmreviewblog.tumblr.com

Algo De Privacidad I remember going to see this movie, just because of Kylie. I also remember myself going to get a pizza like 10 to 15 minutes after the movie began... because I left.the director last me when the motion capture suit guy was there doing some kind of practice. (I do not think that this should be considered a spoiler.. is part of the backstage I think)anyway... one of the light on the floor of the theater hallway was blinking... and that capture my attention more that what was happening on the screen... so that it... i don't even wait for my favorite celebrity appeared. I knew I was wasting my time there...
