Zusammenfassung:Examines the work of the French film and music video director, Michel GondryExplores a range of complex works by Michel Gondry, examining significant themes throughout his filmography including surrealism, adaptation, memory, dreams, play and African-American identityCompares Gondry to other filmmakers including Wes Anderson and Jean Vigo, allowing for an understanding of how Gondry's films might compare with both his global contemporaries and his predecessors in French and international cinemaDemonstrates how Gondry's work in narrative film, documentary and music video represents significant innovation in narrative, visual aesthetic and genreThe acclaimed French auteur behind the mind-bending modern classic Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, Michel Gondry has directed a number of innovative, ground-breaking films and documentaries, episodes of the acclaimed television show Kidding and some of the most influential music videos in the history of the medium. In this collection, a range of international scholars offers a comprehensive study of this significant and influential figure, covering his French and English-language films and videos, and framing Gondry as a transnational auteur whose work provides insight into both French/European and American cinematic and cultural identity. With detailed case studies of films such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), The Science of Sleep (2006), Microbe & Gasoline (2015) and Mood Indigo (2013), this collection will appeal to readers interested in the various media in which Gondry has worked, and in contemporary post-modern French and American cinema in general
