Review of "Holy Motors"

Only on briefly looking at the special feature interview with the director did it become clear that Leos Carax is an incoherent gibbon hiding behind dark glasses and a gallic stubble making gnomic remarks to a sycophantic interviewer and that there is simply no point at all to this dull and uninteresting, either as art or as narrative, mess of a film.
