Denis Lavant (Mister Lonely), Eva Mendes (The Other Guys), Kylie Minogue (Jack & Diane) and Edith Scob (Summer Hours) star in internationally acclaimed French filmmaker Léos Carax’s (The Lovers on the Bridge) 2012 fantasy-drama mash-up movie Holy Motors.
The film’s hard-to-describe, dreamy story has Lavant portraying “Monsieur Oscar,” a man whose mysterious job involves using makeup, elaborate costumes and props to carry out a number of complex and unusual scenarios. As he embarks on a journey through the streets of Paris in a white limousine driven by his associate Céline (Scob), Oscar transforms into a handful of characters for a series of strange “appointments.” Oscar’s various scenarios play out as different film genres–monster movie, film noir, fantasy, romantic drama, musical, crime thriller and even anime.
A true critics’ darling—it received a 90% positive rating at Rotten Tomatoes based on 132 published reviews—the unrated Holy Motors played in festivals and theaters around the world, including a limited run in the U.S. in October, 2012.
The film will debut digitally a week prior to the DVD and Blu-ray release on iTunes (Feb. 19).
Bonus features on the Blu-ray of the foreign film, which is presented in French, English and Chinese with English subtitles, include the featurette “Drive In – The Making of Holy Motors” and an interview with Kylie Minogue, who contributes new music to the production.
