Holy Motors
This excellent movie begins with a rich man (Denis Lavant) who walks out of his heavily guarded mansion, enters a stretch limo, and leaves to work. The man has several assignments that day, the first of which is being a beggar on a busy Paris street; the next, being an action figure for a motion-capture company; next, being a monster in a cemetery. As the movie progresses, the assignments become stranger and stranger. The film answers nothing and leaves all of its balls wonderfully suspended in the air. (CHARLES MUDEDE)
