26/05/2012 : Cronenberg's road trip to hell
Cars, crazy cars

25/05/2012 : He's called Monsieur Oscar, and the name is a cinematic prophecy. He's played by Denis Lavant, the French actor, that compact ball of intense energy who reincarnates from the back of a gigantic limo into a bum, a cybermonster, an assassin, a dying uncle, and other roles in the shades borrowed from other movies and our collective memory of them. In a jaded Cannes Competition this year, Leos Carax's Holy Motors arrived on Wednesday like a humming spaceship, bizarre and irreverent, cheeky and disturbing. Come the awards night on Sunday, pundits are now betting that Carax's first feature film in 13 years will emerge with some wins.
