French filmmaker Michel Gondry authored epic videoclips that redefined the very idea of filmed music: take Let Forever Be (The Chemical Brothers, 1999), Bachelorette (Björk, 1997), and The Hardest Button to Button (The White Stripes, 2003).
Gondry later ventured into cinema with an arsenal of Méliès-worthy tricks, hyperbolic scenography, and unique, awesome visions. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), written by Charlie Kaufman, The Science of Sleep (2006), and Be Kind Rewind (2008) are essential to understand the art of the visionary director.
