The Leos Carax Collection Blu-ray Movie

Overview

The Leos Carax Collection (1984-2014)

Collection of films directed by acclaimed French film-maker Leos Carax. The thriller 'The Night is Young' (1986) follows petty thief and street hustler Alex, who is plotting to steal a new miracle cure for an AIDS-like virus on behalf of his gangster friend Marc, attracting the attention of a mysterious American woman who also wants the serum. 'Holy Motors' (2012) follows the man of many identities, Monsieur Oscar. Driven around Paris by his chauffeur Celine, Oscar makes use of an elaborate dressing room in his limousine to assume the identity of a number of different characters. At various points throughout the journey he appears as a businessman, a beggar, an assassin, a father and an old woman and in each disguise steps out of his limousine to engage with the world while embarking on bizarre adventures that include kidnapping a beautiful model, Kay. But what exactly lies at the root of Oscar's extraordinary behaviour? 'Boy Meets Girl' (1984) is the darkly comic love story which involves two strangers who are destined to meet after their relationships break down. The collection also contains the documentary exploration of writer and director Carax, entitled 'Mr X' (2014).
