This had quickly become my most anticipated festival film to see. Getting some pretty rave reviews at Cannes and the content sounds even more bananas than I could have anticipated:

Quote:

The new offering from Leos Carax features Eva Mendes allowing a man called Monsieur Merde to eat her hair, two bonobo chimps playing house in suburban Paris, an extended scene of cybermonster sex, and some talking limousines, to name but a few of the film's surreal moments. There’s also a musical interlude from Kylie Minogue as a suicidal air hostess.

Be sure to check out his previous film, Pola X, if you haven't.

You guys are gonna feel silly when this wins the Palme and this thread has no replies.

Never saw Pola X, but I really like his first three. Bad Blood and Lovers on the Bridge are my favorites for obvious reasons. I'm sure Lavant will have a great performance

Also, really, what hasnt Michel Picolli been in?!

Very interesting trailer. I'll be looking out for this.

maybe i was hoping for something a bit more visually abrasive. especially after reading the synopsis and seeing the poster art. the cinematography looks sort of plain. that's completely half-hearted judgement though, because I haven't seen it. I hope it'll be great. and a name like Kylie Minogue makes me feel weird.

I know what you mean, but I wouldn't describe MD as visually abrasive. Kylie being in it is great because it's completely random, so I'd say you're supposed to feel weird. Plus, I'm a fan of her music.

made my way through his features, and Holy Motors is now easily one of my most anticipated films for the rest of the year.

has anyone seen and have any thoughts on Tokyo! or 42 One Dream Rush?

[wileythekid]
