Leos Carax directs this surrealist French drama starring Denis Lavant, Kylie Minogue and Eva Mendes. Monsieur Oscar (Lavant) is a man of many identities. Driven around Paris by his chauffeur, Celine, he makes use of an elaborate dressing room in his limousine to assume the appearance and identity of a number of different figures. At various points throughout the day Oscar is a businessman, a beggar, an assassin, a father and an old woman, venturing out into the world to engage with others in each role and embarking on bizarre adventures that include kidnapping a beautiful model, Kay. What is at the root of Oscar’s extraordinary behaviour?
