Cannes-Ticker: 22. Maischwanenmeister, 00:49h
"Holy Motors" (Leos Carax) ****½
[Wettbewerb]
"I am dizzy in love with HOLY MOTORS. If that was the only film I saw here, it would have been worth the trip", schreibt Dew McWeeny (HitFix). "Der geistig wendigste Film in der Competition. Fantastische Rollenspiele mit Denis Levant und Ode ans Maschinelle", schreibt Dominik Kamalzadeh (Standard). "Lengthiest applause I've heard for a Cannes movie so far: Leos Carax's HOLY MOTORS now. Wackiest movie I've ever seen in Cannes", schreibt Eugene Hernandez (indieWIRE). "Holy shit (88)", schreibt Mike D'Angelo (The A.V. Club). "HOLY MOTORS is just mad enough to win the Palme D'Or", schreibt Peter Bradshaw (Guardian). "Rejoice! HOLY MOTORS is beautiful, inscrutable, frightening, idiotic, ecstatic, makes POLA X look like THE KING'S SPEECH. Best in Comp? Oui", schreibt Guy Lodge (In Contention). "HOLY MOTORS wins Palme d'WTF at Cannes. Life, death, accordions, monkeys. Carax, always a bit nutty, finally flies off the rails. HOLY MOTORS is balls-to-the-wall crazy, beautiful and unbelievably strange", schreibt Eric Kohn (indieWIRE). "Leos Carax's HOLY MOTORS is more or less wholly pretentious, self-indulgent doodling on film history/representation. But maybe it may be forgiven for the sheer, crazed power of Denis Lavant's multi-character performance, if not for Kylie's song", schreibt Geoff Andrew (Sight & Sound). "Leos Carax's HOLY MOTORS is better than the Resnais, but half execrable farce, half exhausted invention; a real mad curio", schreibt Nick James (Sight & Sound). "Send Denis Lavant the Cannes best actor prize right now for HOLY MOTORS. His credit is "Denis Lavant X 11"; it's Lon Chaney Jr. revived. MOTORS is easily in a place by itself as the most alive and imaginative film so far in the Cannes competition. Carax is back", schreibt Robert Koehler (Variety). "Mit zunehmender Dauer wird der Film immer unwiderstehlicher. Ein unerwarteter Palmenanwärter", schreibt Thomas Schultze (Blickpunkt:Film). "Exhilarating, opaque, heartbreaking and completely bonkers – HOLY MOTORS is a deliciously preposterous piece of filmmaking that appraises life and death and everything in between, reflected in a funhouse mirror", schreibt Megan Lehmann (THR). "The brilliant accordion scene in HOLY MOTORS is precisely why I come to Cannes", schreibt Damon Wise (Empire). "Wer sich das Bewusstsein erweitern lassen möchte, sollte Leos Carax' HOLY MOTORS sehen: irre, weise, komisch, schön", schreibt Wenke Husmann (Zeit). "Thank you life, Thank you love, Thank you leos. I want to be your wife, your son, your father, I want to cry in your arms until death comes", schreibt Cedric Succivalli (ICS). "Es ist ein grossartiges, vergnügliches, zuweilen grusliges Wechselspiel, das Leos Carax veranstaltet. Und der Film vibriert vor Energie, die Einfälle und Ideen jagen sich", schreibt Michael Sennhauser (SRF). "Just got out of Leos Carax's HOLY MOTORS. Holy moley! Holy Eva Mendez, Kylie Minogue and Michel Piccoli! Dali/Bunuel/Carax live large", schreibt Jeffrey Wells (Hollywood Elsewhere).
---Entdeckungen---
"Sightseers" (Directors' Fortnight, Bill Wheatley): THR's Neil Youngs bisherige Nummer eins mit 21/28 Punkten, noch vor "Augustine", "Hold Back", "Moonrise Kingdom" und "La Playa DC".
---Bilanzen---
"In Cannes competition, there is Carax' HOLY MOTORS & Reygadas' POST TENEBRAS LUX, & then everything else. Imagination is what sets these apart", schreibt Robert Koehler (Variety).
