(Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 8/413) The
Holy Prophet, Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam, has said, «One fast during these days is equal to the fasting
of one complete
year, and the worship
of one
night during this period is equal to the worship
of «Lailatul - Qadr».
So I don't think anyone was quite prepared for the visionary, jaw - dropping spectacle that greeted us at
Holy Motors» first press screening last
night — a work so sui generis, so vast in scope, and so meticulously realized that you can easily imagine Carax having spent every waking hour
of the past 13
years working on it — and many non-waking hours to boot, given its dreamlike, surrealistic modus operandi.
