Story: | 
Over the course of a single day, Monsieur Oscar travels by limousine around 
Paris to a series of nine 'appointments', transforming into new characters or 
incarnations at each stop. Fetched in the morning by Celine, his trusty 
chauffeur on this surreal journey, Oscar begins the day as a captain of 
industry. Then he becomes a gypsy crone, begging for spare change on a bridge 
over the Seine. Inside a digital production facility, he's a ninja warrior 
transformed by cutting-edge technology into a reptilian sex god. Next he's a 
gibberish-spewing troglodyte who kidnaps a fashion model from a photo shoot in 
Pere-Lachaise cemetery, ferrying her to his underground lair in the sewers.
Then he's the melancholy father of a teenage daughter, followed by a shadowy 
assassin sent to kill his own doppelganger, a dying old man, and finally a 
thwarted lover revisiting a flame from his past atop a decaying Right Bank 
department store next to the Pont-Neuf. Monster movie, film noir, romantic 
drama, musical, crime thriller, futuristic sex fantasia"Holy Motors" is 
all of these and, then again, none of these. It is a ravishing, shape-shifting,
fever dream of becoming, unraveling and starting all over again. From celluloid 
magic to the digital data stream, Monsieur Oscar's epic journey of the soul is 
all of our dreams.
