Holy Motors: L’accordéoniste Denis Lavant

Alan Zisman from Vancouver’s Squeezebox Circle sent me this.  Yup, it is cool.

Wait!  What was that?  Let’s just say what a remarkable variety of accordions there are!

Apparently it’s from a French film called Holy Motors.  It sounds weird, even though it has this perfectly reasonable scene of a growing crowd of accordionists and hangers on striding through a cathedral jamming on funky parade-music.  Aside from that it looks very strange.

It’s about a guy who lives a bunch of different lives all at once, or something.  With limousines, disguises, assassinations, fashion-models, etc. all the ingredients for your average James Bond movie.  But apparently it’s weirder than that, and there’s accordions which make it better.  Makes me want to see it.

I remember now I was reading about this film.  Here’s the trailer, looks intriguing.
