“People all around the world are having only rice & tea/Two of them should come & take the place of Laura Lee & me” there are two unoccupied places at the table, belonging to the children “diminutive offspring” who are playing under the table and not missed by the adults because there are “bigwigs there” It doesn’t seem devoid of point to me even tho there’s no big twist, it’s just sweet and humorously written

The bigwigs are so lofty they fail to notice the animalistic sexual depravity going on between the singer and guest because they don't recognise them as human. It's Histoire de l'Oeil in 2.20 minutes.
Or probably not.

I mean they are specifically described as children (offspring) so I don’t see the ambiguity. I guess the kids could be having sex? Maybe with a dog? Is that the theory? Is this a bit? I do love it, one of my very favourite of theirs

This was annoying as hell, but I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I watched it the other day.

Saw Holy Motors again for the first time in a while. It is fun to watch, but it still doesn't make much sense to me. There may be a lot to it, but I haven't gotten beyond its general appreciation for 'acting'
