Actor Allusion: Édith Scob (Chauffeur Céline), starred in the French horror classic Eyes Without a Face (1960). The mask that Céline puts on by the end of the film is a direct reference to this. | |

Deconstruction | |
| Holy Motors / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: Of film in general, and of daily life too. The main character is an actor. His 'deaths' are fake as he has no problem living onward normally after getting stabbed in the neck with a switchblade and later the same night getting shot in the chest several times while entirely shirtless. He goes through several intense moments such as killing a man, witnessing the aftermath of an old friend's death minutes after talking to her, dying from old age with his 'niece' (another actor) by his side, and biting a woman's finger off. Aside from taking a few minutes to himself and having a drink, he is not affected by these events at all. The film itself presents them in an absurd "I don't care" way wherein such things are actually funnier than they are dramatic. He is driven around in a limo and appears to live a life of luxury, judging by his house and small collection of high-end automobiles. Oh yes, his name is "Oscar," an important name in the filmmaking industry. In the final scenes of Oscar's, his "family" isn't a human wife and child, but chimpanzees. After all the limo drivers leave the cars in the car barn for the night, the cars have a conversation with each other about getting older, retirement (possibly forced), and not being desired any more. The lead character "actor" is just as believable in his 'real' interactions with people as he is in his 'in-character' interactions. Do we not all play characters in this life, to many of the people we meet (or, do we treat them as simple, flat characters when we interact with them?)? The movie alludes to all these 'heavy' ideas, but takes it all in stride, even laughing at the matter. | |
