Another week, another Cinema Screening. I can’t say I was as excited about this week’s ‘Holy Motor’ than I was for ‘The Wizard Of Oz’. Nonetheless, I gave it the benefit of the doubt. Immediately I knew it wasn’t something I’d seek out in my own life. It’s got a kind of David Lynch feel, but I definitely enjoyed Mulholland Drive more than this, I gotta say. Some of my friends were saying that they at least enjoyed the cinematography, but personally I was so confused and made uncomfortable by the plot that I didn’t have time to admire the artistry. The film basically follows a man a day in the life of his job, but it’s a little more obscure than something in an office. I didn’t totally get it, but it was something along the lines of an acting gig. He’d get ‘appointments’ and portray roles, only they seemed to be real life situations. I liked that idea, but felt it wasn’t executed in the right way. It was a bit slow, incredibly weird and don’t even get me started on the finger biting, latex suit sex or monkey family. It did have some good things to offer here and there though – for example, Kyle Minogue’s odd little cameo (although breaking into song felt out of place) and the hilarity of Oscar (the protagonist) awkwardly leaving after playing out an old man’s death. I especially liked the little car scene at the end. Other than that though, I really didn’t love it.
