Although released in mid-2001 on Sympathy for the Record Industry, it wasn’t until the album was re-released by V2 the following year that the mainstream began paying attention. “Fell in Love with a Girl” got some notice with a cool Lego-filled video...

During the procedure, Joel realizes it’s better to retain his past because it contains good as well as bad memories. A fight against time follows as Joel attempts to escape the procedure and to preserve the love. Director Michel Gondry’s cult classic...

Omar will co-star alongside Audrey Tatou (forever to be known as Amelie) and Romain Duris, who I'm not familiar with. The fantastical synopsis for the book, originally published in 1947, reads like this: The protagonist, Colin, is a wealthy young man...

But then again, those directors’ own films practically beg for their musical soulmates. Some artists were simply made for each other. Here is a list of my favorite collaborations between filmmakers and bands. 1. Michel Gondry: “The Hardest Button to...

Melin's Kinology has acquired international sales rights outside France to French helmer Michel Gondry's "The We And The I." Set in the Bronx, the English-language drama follows a group on teens on the last day of school before summer vacation. Pic...

Let your freak flag fly, office drones! The video for "Three Car Garage," a bittersweet guitar-pop single from Massachusetts duo You Won't is a slightly surreal mini-portrait of 9 to 5ers letting loose. Beginning with home movie footage of kids going...

Right after Berlin, Seydoux will head in front of Abdellatif Kechiche’s camera for his adaptation of Le Bleu est un couleur chaud before shooting Michel Gondry’s The Foam of the Days. The loyal Seydoux will take a pause from Hollywood blockbusters to...

Picture the weird side project of Amanda Palmer, Michel Gondry, and George Grosz. The Turk’s unnerving introduction to the “show” invites viewers to “Get acquainted with … gambling games that never win … merry-go-rounds that will bore the hell out of...

There are also two other films, titled Tokyo Streets, about the city's streets, its skyscrapers, monuments and dark lonely lanes, and Tokyo Homes, which is about how people eat and sleep. "I sourced footage from filmmakers such as Wim Wenders, Chris...

'Straight Talk' that it may get thrown in the shredder if I get near anything starring Meg Ryan, but honestly, it doesn't bother me. As much as I love revolting shock cinema, as much as I giggle with glee at every new Jean-Claude Van Damme flick, or as...
