Given how many motion pictures are released each year, it’s inevitable that the vast majority fade into relative obscurity. There’s only so much room in the mainstream, and that space is almost always occupied by the most accessible and widely-advertised of movies. In this column, I seek to discuss those movies which have been overlooked or underestimated and attempt to explain why they’re worth your attention. Ultimately, I hope to introduce lesser-known films to people who might never have heard about them, and if I’m really lucky, maybe I’ll help broaden my readers’ horizon.
This time, the subject is Leos Carax’s 2012 masterpiece, Holy Motors.
