Here is a film that is exasperating, frustrating, anarchic and in a constant state of renewal. It's not tame. --- Roger Ebert,Chicago Sun-Times

[A] crazy-beautiful reverie about movies, love, the love of movies, and the inevitability of human melancholy by the perpetually mysterious French filmmaker Léos Carax. 
---Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly


It's the coolest and strangest movie of the year, and once it gets its druglike hooks in your brain, you'll never get them out again. 
---Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com


 



From dawn to dusk, a few hours in the life of Monsieur Oscar, a shadowy character who journeys from one life to the next. He is, in turn, captain of industry, assassin, beggar, monster, family man... He seems to be playing roles, plunging headlong into each part - but where are the cameras? Monsieur Oscar is alone, accompanied only by Céline, the slender blonde woman behind the wheel of the vast engine that transports him through and around Paris. He's like a conscientious assassin moving from hit to hit. In pursuit of the beautiful gesture, the mysterious driving force, the women and the ghosts of past lives. But where is his true home, his family, his rest?
