Production

Prior to the production of Holly Motors, Leos Carax had for five years tried to fund a big English-language film. As financiers were reluctant to invest, Carax, whose last feature film was Pola X from 1999, decided to make a smaller French-language production first, with the aim to regain prominence in international cinema.[1] Holly Motors is produced through Pierre Grise Productions for a budget of 3.9 million euro, including money from the CNC, Île-de-France region, Arte France, Canal+ and Ciné+.[2] The film is a 20% German co-production through the company Pandora, and received 350,000 euro from the Franco-German co-production support committee.[3]

Principal photography is located to Paris. Filming started in September and is scheduled to end in November 2011.[4]
