Holy Motors (2012)
Overview
We follow 24 hours in the life of a being moving from life to life like a cold and solitary assassin moving from hit to hit. In each of these interwoven lives, the being possesses an entirely distinct identity: sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes youthful, sometimes old. By turns murderer, beggar, company chairman, monstrous creature, worker, family man.

Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
Holy Motors is a highly surreal and philosophical film that explores themes of identity, performance, and the nature of reality without explicitly promoting any particular political ideology or offering a clear ideological solution to its observed societal phenomena.
The film features visible diversity in its cast, including a prominent Latina actress, but its casting choices do not appear to be driven by explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative is highly surreal and abstract, focusing on broader philosophical themes rather than explicit critiques of traditional identities or central DEI themes.
Secondary
Holy Motors explores identity and performance through its protagonist's various roles, but it does not feature identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's surreal narrative and philosophical inquiries into the nature of being do not intersect with specific LGBTQ+ depictions, resulting in no direct portrayal.
The film 'Holy Motors' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its exploration of identity and transformation is primarily through the lens of performance and the adoption of various roles, rather than an explicit focus on gender identity or transition.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Holy Motors is an original film by Leos Carax, not an adaptation, biopic, or reboot of existing material. All characters are new creations for this specific film, therefore, there are no pre-established characters whose gender could be swapped.
Holy Motors is an original film with characters created specifically for it. There is no prior source material, historical record, or established canon from which characters could have been race-swapped.
