Synopsis

Over twenty-four hours in Paris, an enigmatic man named Monsieur Oscar is driven in a white stretch limousine from one mysterious appointment to another, adopting diverse personas—an accordionist, an assassin, a beggar woman, a motion-capture creature, and a family man. Leos Carax and Denis Lavant's exhilarating ode to cinema.
