Holy Motors

We near the end of Jess Byard July, this year all about surrealist films, with a Leos Carax film that flew under our radar for way too long but no longer, Holy Motors. The Projection Booth's Mike White joins the episode to talk about French surrealism, Denis Lavant's performance, and the multilayered interpretation.Starring Denis Lavant as Mr. Oscar, it follows him around the city of Paris as he goes from job to job portraying bizarre, upsetting, and even mundane characters. It's musing on the world of acting and the job that actors play in the media they create. It's more fun than most things you'll see coming out of the big Hollywood system in the ten years.For more Kulturecast episodes and podcasts guaranteed to be your new favorite audio obsession, check out Weirding Way Media at weirdingwaymedia.com.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.
