In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth proportions with an almost human sense of vengeance. This real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, but Melville's book only told half the story.

Experience the harrowing aftermath as the pummeled crew battles storms, starvation, arid despair, and the men are forced to do the unthinkable in order to survive.

Holy Motors is a fascinating, visually striking labyrinth of interwoven fantasies that follows the mysterious Monsieur Oscar (played in jaw-dropping style by the miraculous Denis Lavant) who, over the course of a single day, takes on 10 bizarre guises, ranging from a gangster and ageing millionaire to a troubled parent and anarchic tramp.
