See the films the platforms disagree about most →A man named Monsieur Oscar is chauffeured around Paris in a white limousine. He steps out at various appointments and transforms into completely different characters—a motion-capture artist, a beggar woman, a monstrous creature, an assassin. The film is a surreal and kaleidoscopic journey through different genres and identities, questioning the nature of performance and reality.
