Oscar: a person in a limo with a number of appointments arranged by the “Office”. Appointments which are extremely different between them. Oscar changes faces, clothing, attitude, posture, everything. Oscar becomes totally different every tim
e to accommodate the needs of its next role.
He must be a banker, a beggar, a dancer using a motion capture uniform, a repulsive inhuman grotesque figure, a father, a musician, etc. Time is always against him. He must fulfill all these appointments within a day. A feast driven by his desire to “disguise” himself.
Does it ring a bell? Holy Motors is an allegory :). My interpretation follows … My suggestion: read it after you’ve seen the film.
