Wanted: A Lifetime Subscription To Michel Gondry’s Work

, , , ,

If we could, we would subscribe. Michel’s work is so consistent, so mind-blowing. So joyful. So inventive. If we could bestow a “World Treasure” certification we would. He and his work would certainly have their own wing in The Ted Museum.

I can honestly say I have never learned how to see the world differently as well as I did the time I got to spend by Michel’s side as he directed “Human Nature”. He sees the world — and how to rearrange it — like no other.

Even a young mind absorbs this is something else afoot, with Michel’s brain. My son watched his work at a very young age, and holds him, like Charles Chaplin, as someone who does it all quite brilliantly — and makes the world a better place to live as a result.

This is his latest video:

    Yeah man, mos definitely sign me up for a lifetime Gondry subscription. It's the most misused word in the arts (and an occupational hazard during any industry conversation especially from agents uggh) but Michel Gondry truly puts the G in genius yes. He's a heartfelt visual magician and his "work of" dvd constantly spins here; Daft Punk's "Around the World" is my all-time favorite video and his series of Bjork gems are tops. Now yet another example of charming dizzying choreography (literally huh? love the spinning guy behind Mia grabbing his head at the end!), it makes one giddy and lifts all our spirits. Better start building that wing in the museum and thanks for posting anything else from this maestro's incomparable mind in future...

This site could not have been built without the help and insight of Michael Morgenstern. My thanks go out to him.
