	Michel Gondry
		Pioneering director Michel Gondry's remarkable creative energy and ability to innovate have resulted in some of the most visually stunning music videos in the history of the medium, and his wild imagination and organic, childlike imagery raised the bar of what one could achieve in the short format.
		Michel Gondry is a native of Versailles who was raised in a freethinking family that encouraged and supported his creative endeavors; his parents harbored a deep love of pop music and the works of Duke Ellington, in particular.
		Gondry's grandfather Constant Martin is often credited with creating one of the earliest synthesizers (the Clavioline), and although his father would often bemoan his own lack of musical inspiration, he kept the spirit alive by owning a shop that sold musical instruments.

	Director File ·· Michel Gondry
		Michel Gondry was born and raised in Versailles, France.
		Michel Gondry's age is deceiving, however: his works are marked with a child-like explorative eye.
		Since the release of Gondry's first feature film Human Nature, and much more successful second feature Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, he produced a film he wrote called The Science of Sleep.

		Gondry is small, with curly hair and a game laugh, and at 43 almost a Gallic insert for Bob Dylan's “Forever Young” (rightly, his documentary on himself is called “I've Been 12 Forever”).
		Gondry doodles that a bit more – one half expects a cartoon bubble to float above his head – and remarks, “When my boy was about 15 he was fascinated by sharks, but by imagining them so much he was too scared to visit the ocean.
		Gondry is a bit surprised when asked if his growing up in Versailles, a town ruled by the palace, its grounds and Old Regime streets, generated his blithe but orderly imagination, his sense of spatial theater.

		The film was so successful that it netted Gondry an Academy Award for the film’s original screenplay, which he co-wrote with Pierre Bismuth and acclaimed screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Adaptation, Being John Malkovich).
		Gondry is back again with The Science Of Sleep, a film that continues Gondry’s infatuation with the sub-conscious.
		Some critics have argued that Gondry should have hired a more familiar cast, but considering the location that the film was shot (France), I feel that it makes a lot of sense that he employed a non-American cast.

		But it is also typical of Gondry that the inspiration for this work should come from a childhood toy, as much of his work is inspired by memories from his childhood and is filled with teddy bears, train sets, model airplanes, and colorful creatures.
		In this respect, it often seems that Michel Gondry is less a music video director creating short, artful commercials for major-label pop albums than he is an idiosyncratic auteur with a distinctive and personal body of work that happens to feature internationally famous pop stars as actors.
		Gondry’s sensitivity to the structure of pop music is another of his peculiar strengths as a director, due in part to his experience as a drummer in the French neo-punk band Oui Oui (for whom he directed his first music videos).

	MTV Movie News \| Another Surreal Film Coming From 'Eternal Sunshine' Director Michel Gondry
		While Michel Gondry has created fantastical worlds onscreen — his arresting visual images have elevated him to auteur status in the realm of music videos (Björk, White Stripes) and independent films ("Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind") — the idiosyncratic filmmaker has also achieved the improbable in the real world.
		Predictably enough, Gondry's affinity for reality-bending is also evident in his third feature-length film, "The Science of Sleep." The director, who is currently putting the finishing touches on the picture, said the story centers on a daydreamer who retreats into his visions and begins to confuse them with reality.
		Gondry has said in the past that the film is a loose interpretation of the "Everlong" video he shot for the Foo Fighters in 1997, where a man saves his girlfriend from hellions in a dream world.

		French-born Gondry was raised in Versailles, near Paris, and had dreams of becoming a painter or inventor.
		Gondry, who had played drums for the band and directed their music videos, was asked by Björk to direct a video for her song, 'Human Behaviour.' Impressed with his work, Björk hired him to direct five more of her videos.
		While establishing himself in the music video and commercial industry, Gondry developed a number of new film techniques including morfing and invented the idea of using several cameras to take pictures at the same time around someone.

	'boards - Screening Room
		Director Michel Gondry brought together punk rock, Lego and stop motion animation in a new video for the White Stripes.
		In the edit suite, Gondry had the negs treated with a program that would, when prints were produced at low resolution, lend Lego-like shapes to enlarged pixels.
		Gondry and a team of punk rock Lego animators then assembled each frame from Lego and shot it with a 16mm Bolex camera.

		From humble beginnings 36 year old Michel Gondry has since become one of the most sought after video and commercial directors in the world.
		Describing the film as 'a tale about human nature, frustration and sexual education' Gondry is keen to use some of the more surreal elements that often pop up in his work such as the use of over-stated background projection and picture morphing in the movie.
		Gondry's positivity is unlikely to have been hampered by the success of Being John Malkovich, a film that five years ago would have been almost unthinkable in the staid world of Hollywood movie studios.

	INTERVIEW: Not Quite Human: Michel Gondry Makes The Leap To Features With "Human Nature"
		Gondry: I was worried anyway because it was my first feature film, and I knew the tone was really important -- the story can be great, the lighting can be great, but if you don't connect with the movie, it's hugely awful.
		Gondry: Charlie talked about "Naked." It's a movie that was very important for Charlie, and I saw it later and I could see why.
		Gondry: There's a combination of naïveté and realism in the film, between Charlie's writing and my personality and the actors' personalities, it all came together without a real label.

	Then It Must Be True - Michel Gondry
		Gondry is most known for his collaborations with Bjork — having produced the visual accompaniment to six of her most memorable tunes — but the French visual artist has infused his own unique style with many other musicians of disparate style since his career began in 1986.
		From then on it was non-stop attention for Gondry, especially once his tour de force with Bjork began with her “Human Behavior” video.
		Gondry is now taking his inimitable vision to the big screen with his feature film directorial debut, bringing the equally fearless work of writer Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich) to life in Human Nature.

	village voice > film > by Joshua Clover
		He may be French and aesthetically ambitious, but Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind director Michel Gondry shares more with early Disney than with France's new new wavers such as Gaspar Noé (whom he admires), Catherine Breillat (whom he doesn't), or Olivier Assayas (whose demonlover he claims politely to have missed).
		Gondry turns nouveau tech and cinema's reality-bending capacities toward an imaginary saturated with primary colors—childlike, surreal, and often joyful.
		In this regard Gondry is the dreamiest director on offer, making stories out of an excess of seeing.
