Kylie Minogue, Eva Mendes' ‘Holy Motors’ Divide Critics in Cannes Film Fest [VIDEO]
Perplexed and mind-boggling Leos Carax's new film "Holy Motors" divided the critics in the Cannes Film Festival 2012.
Some booed and some applauded the latest film of the French director. We saw this happened before with Terence Malik's "Tree of Life" and Leon Von Trier's "Dancer in the Dark."
This is a comeback feature for the French director who was became known through his 1991 film Les Amants du Pont-Neuf. This is his next film after 13 years of not taking the helm.
Denis Levant played multiple roles in the film had no words to describe the movie. He has not seen the film yet. Kylie Minogue, on the other hand, was blown away by the film when she saw the film for the first time. Minogue played a small but memorable part in Holy Motors.
"From reading the script and from the few days I was on the film I did get to thinking [it was about] how we present ourselves in the world in different moments. If I can try to be as overall as that, and it's much more profound, but that's a brief response," Minogue said trying to interpret the movie.
Based from the trailer, the story revolves around Monsieur Oscar (Denis Levant), a mysterious figure, being chauffeured around in a white limousine all over Paris as he go to his different appointments embodying different personas.
He is a beggar, an old woman, a well-dressed businessman, an assassin, a kidnapper who abduct a gorgeous model (Eva Mendes).
The movie will be shown in July 4, 2012 in France. Release dates to other countries are yet to be announced.
