Denis Lavant is the most underrated actor ever / who else ?
seriously.
he's so different & impossible to compare with anybody else.
he'd deserved an Oscar for this Oscar role : to my knowledge, nobody else could have incarnated this character.
it even felt to me that holy motors was an ode dedicated to the artist that is D Lavant (by the poet that is L Carax), that it was written for him (rather than him being chosen to play the role).
