Who is Monsieur Hire? Assassin, beggar, sewer-dwelling troglodyte, family man, dying man — there are no answers in this self-described “experience of being alive” from French cinema’s enfant terrible, Leos Carax (THE LOVERS ON THE BRIDGE, ANNETTE). Credited for no less than 11 performances in the fantastical Parisian crisscross, Denis Lavant is chauffeured from “set” to “set” (or “appointments”) in a limousine by star of the classic EYES WITHOUT A FACE, Edith Scob, as he comes face-to-face-to-face with Kylie Minogue and more in a mysterious and ingenious send-up to the masquerade called life.
