Music like Holy Motors

Holy Motors is a 2012 fantasy drama film written and directed by Leos Carax, starring Denis Lavant and Édith Scob. Lavant plays Mr Oscar, a man who appears to have a job as an actor, who inhabits several different roles a day, but there are no cameras filming the man's performances or audiences watching. It is Carax's first feature film since 1999. The film competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.

After waking up one morning, a man called "The Sleeper" locates and opens a secret door in his apartment. He enters, wandering into a packed movie house, while a young child and a giant dog wander up and down the aisles.

Meanwhile, in Paris, a man called Oscar rides to work in a white limousine, driven by his close friend and associate Céline. Oscar's job involves using makeup, elaborate costumes and props to carry out a number of complex and unusual acting "appointments", sometimes for the service of others, and at other times for seemingly no reason at all. At his first appointment, Oscar masquerades as an old woman beggar on the Pont Alexandre III. At the next, Oscar wears a motion capture suit and performs an action sequence on a soundstage while being directed by an unseen man, then a simulated sex scene with an actress in another suit, with both being digitally rendered as snake-like creatures on the control screen. At Oscar's third appointment, he plays the role of Monsieur Merde, an eccentric and violent red-haired man who lives in the sewers and kidnaps a beautiful model called Kay M. from her photo-shoot in a cemetery. The next scene finds Oscar as a father picking up his daughter from a party in an old red car. The two argue when the daughter reveals that she had spent the party crying in the bathroom instead of socializing. Céline continues to drive Oscar to his appointments.
