One day in Paris, a man is driven through the city in a white limousine, stepping out at each stop in a new costume, a new face and a new life. Part mystery, part comic fantasy, part essay on performance, it asks what the appointments are for and who is watching.
Why it matters in cinema history
A defining film of 2010s European art cinema. It carries the French tradition of poetic, anarchic filmmaking (Cocteau, Franju, Godard) into the digital age.
Watch with intention
