The creepy industrial band scene gets your blood pumping...
The creepy industrial band scene in this film = David Bowie scene in 'Bad Blood' = the firework scene in 'The Lovers on the Bridge' = the accordion scene in 'Holy Motors'.
I madly love these trademark music sequences that Leos Carax puts into almost all of his films. All of these scenes get your blood pumping. All of them involve characters reacting to music:
- in 'Bad Blood', a character runs as fast as he can to a song of David Bowie;
- in 'The Lovers on the Bridge', two characters dance like crazy to a mix of different songs they hear in the street; there's also a short scene where they walk the streets of Paris to another song of David Bowie;
- in 'Pola X', two characters watch some creepy industrial band play some even creepier music;
- in 'Holy Motors', MANY characters play music in a church and this is the first time that everyone involved in a scene participates in playing the music (in 'Pola X', some of the characters were playing it while some of them were watching them play).
I haven't seen 'Boy Meets Girl' yet. Is there such a sequence?
