Several years after “Mood Indigo” (2013), the adaptation of the novel “Froth On A Daydream” (1947), Michel Gondry recently returned to his overwhelming experience with Vian. With his characteristic originality and uniqueness, Gondry signs a short autobiographical animation film as a homage to his beloved novelist and trumpeter.
Michel Gondry
Michel Gondry was born in Versailles, from a family immersed in the musical universe. When he was a child he wanted to be a painter or an inventor. In the end, he succeeded in both, as his visual creations are teeming with original finds. He began in the early 80s as a drummer with a pop group and then entered the world of music video production. After becoming known from his collaboration with Björk, his international career will see him collaborate with the Rolling Stones, Lenny Kravitz, Massive Attack, Daft Punk, Kylie Minogue, Radiohead, Kanye West, Paul McCartney and many others. In 2001, he directed his first feature, “Human Nature”. His second film, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Several productions will follow, all marked by this singular, poetic and often fantastic style.
