It was weaker visually than I expected (especially the scenes of the limo driving around Paris, very sterile and down-to-earth for a movie with such a concept) and I thought it had a couple too many endings - to me, the perfect closing shot would have been the limos driving inside the Holy Motors building. But overall I thought it was an excellent meditation on how much acting and mask-putting we do in our lives, sometimes even in danger of losing our "true self", whatever it might be, entirely and ending up with nothing but the masks, however convincing they may be. It's never dull, the accordeon scene is just wonderful and Lavant's performance is seriously one of the all-time greats.BTW, if you liked HM enough, I really recommend Leos Carax's other films, especially Les amants du Pont-Neuf (1991) and Pola X (1999). Unlike HM, they aren't weird or outrageous (although Carax can fuck with your head a bit here and there), very straightforward and easy to follow, actually, and very beautifully shot in addition. 'Les Amants' has Lavant and Juliette Binoche starring as homeless lovers, it's a fantastic romantic drama, bursting with life and energy. Pola X is a very dark and depressing story, but absolutely captivating. His first two films from the 1980s are also beautifully shot and both have 20-something Lavant starring in them, but are also more experimental.
