‘Mood Indigo’ Trailer – ‘Eternal Sunshine’ Director’s New Surreal Portrait of Love
25 April 2013 8:49 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Oscar-winning filmmaker Michel Gondry returns to theaters this year with Mood Indigo, which is his new testament to the power of imagination and love – in the face of life’s harsh realities – to rank alongside his previous critically-acclaimd features such as The Science of Sleep and, more famously, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Mood Indigo takes place in a surreal alternate reality, where Colin (Romain Duris) – the wealthy young inventor of “the cocktail-mixing piano” – falls in love with the woman named Chloe (Audrey Tautou), who is “the incarnation of a Duke Ellington tune.” However, after their wedding, Chloe becomes terribly sick due to a water lily that is growing inside her lung; thus, Colin’s commitment and creative spark is put to the test, in order for him to save his sweetheart’s life.
The Mood Indigo cast includes Omar Sy ...

Film Review: ‘Mood Indigo’
23 April 2013 2:20 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
After an opera adaptation and earlier cinematic efforts by Go Riju and Charles Belmont, Boris Vian’s supposedly unfilmable cult novel “Froth on a Daydream” has been adapted to the bigscreen as Michel Gondry’s often inventive but finally exhausting “Mood Indigo.” Gondry’s trademark do-it-yourself production design (“Be Kind Rewind,” “The Science of Sleep”) is given a big-budget showcase here, but the resulting yarn, about a rich man rendered penniless by his ailing g.f.’s need for flowers to stay alive, is emotionally stunted and lacks the requisite sense of tragedy. With Romain Duris and Audrey Tautou playing two iconic characters, initial local B.O. should be solid; offshore, “Mood” will be cooler.
Finally back on Gallic home turf after “The Green Hornet” and “The We and the I,” Gondry would seem the perfect filmmaker to adapt Vian’s work and bring to life such flights of fancy as the pianocktail, »

Édgar Ramírez, Robert De Niro Star In Roberto Duran Boxing Biopic ‘Manos de Piedra’ or ‘Hands of Stone’
9 April 2013 3:25 AM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Legendary Panamanian boxer Roberto Duran is getting a professional biopic treatment. Deadline reports that the film will star Golden Globe Nominee Édgar Ramírez (for Carlos) as Duran and Robert De Niro as his trainer Ray Arcel. The film will be directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz (Sequestro Express).
Gael García Bernal (Amores Perros, The Science of Sleep) was circulating the role of Duran and even visited Panama last year but in the end, director Jakubowicz decided to go with a different actor due to García Bernal’s time constraints.
I’m really bummed that García Bernal didn’t land this role. He’s a great actor who would have surely given this role great care. With his departure I sincerely hope that Ramírez brings everything that he’s got and more for this important role, which is representative of the tiny Central American country of Panama.

'The We and the I' review
22 March 2013 2:44 AM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
Ambition is a curious thing in a filmmaker. For some, it means making something intensely personal. For others, it's a big-budget studio film with explosions and all the trimmings. For Michel Gondry, the French director behind "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "Be Kind Rewind," it means workshopping a film with a bunch of Queens teens for three years before making a movie about a bus ride on the last day of school. That, in and of itself, is extremely ambitious, the work of a true artist who is more interested in process than results. Look, of the two previously mentioned, I greatly enjoyed one of them and found the other to be, well, a bit ambitious. I also feel that Gondry faltered with "The Green Hornet," but I thought "The Science of Sleep" was desperately overlooked. »

Title: The We and the I Director: Michel Gondry Starring: Michael Brodie, Teresa Lynn, Raymond Delgado, Jonathan Ortiz, Jonathan Worrell, Alex Barrios, Laidychen Carrasco, Jacobchen Carrasco, Meghan Murphy, Raymond Rios, Mia Lobo Filmmaker Michel Gondry has always been a visionary of visual style, dating back to his groundbreaking work in the music video format. Less noted is his soft spot for underclass underdogs and those existing on the margins of society, as found in his features like “Be Kind Rewind” and “The Science of Sleep.” That predilection gets a more direct exercising in what may be Gondry’s most narratively straightforward and direct movie yet, which charts a city bus ride home [ Read More ]

Watch: A New, Charming Trailer For Michel Gondry's 'Mood Indigo'
12 March 2013 5:04 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
To put it quite simply, Michel Gondry's upcoming "Mood Indigo" looks like the return to form many fans have been waiting for. While the director has been off pursuing various other challenges in the film world, it's been a while since we've dropped into the sort of cinematic funhouse he's put up on screen in "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind," "The Science Of Sleep" or even "Be Kind Rewind" (underrated in this writer's opinion). But "Mood Indigo" looks like an utterly charming, whimsical romance, and after a gorgeous first trailer in January, a brand new, equally lovely spot has emerged. Featuring much more dialogue and an array of new footage along with a bit of stuff we've seen before, this trailer once again plays up the romance at the heart of the story, while perhaps keeping the more tragic elements hinted at for now. Based on the beloved novel by Boris Vian, »

Watch: Michel Gondry Shows Us His Favourite Paris Video Labyrinth
12 March 2013 4:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
To me, and many more, Michel Gondry is a truly distinctive film maker who constantly finds a magnificent place between fantasy and reality and then visually brings it full of life to the cinema screen. He works on several levels, from tiny indie projects to films with bigger scope and tremendous impact such as Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, but also the underrated The Science Of Sleep. I’ve also been keeping an eye out on his upcoming project starring Audrey Tautou in Mood Indigo.
In-between the larger films, on those scatterings of short films and documentary, every production tends to have a moment when you sense his artistic vision shining through. Today, we wanted to share with you this insight into his mind and very specifically, his favourite VHS (now with additional DVDs) Store in Paris. He admits it was an influence for Be Kind Rewind but it »

Watch: Michel Gondry Takes You Through His Favorite VHS Labyrinth
8 March 2013 | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
We've extolled the virtues of VHS before, and now Michel Gondry praises the value of the medium and reminisces about video stores in a new clip that appeared on Nowness. The whimsical French director, who is currently wrapping up his bizarre love story Mood Indigo, gave fans a glimpse inside his favorite Paris video store, La Butte Video Club. Michel Gondry: A Cinephile's Labyrinth is directed by Tiffany Limos of Ken Park fame and follows Gondry through the aisles as he waxes nostalgic about the production of The Science of Sleep. Apparently he watched all of Wim Wenders' early movies on VHS while creating the movie, which makes us love him more than we already did. The filmmaker's 2008 movie Be Kind Rewind tackled the subject of tapes in an obvious fashion, but...

Review: 'The We & The I' Is A Testing, Patronizing Let-Down From Michel Gondry
7 March 2013 3:56 PM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Like some Gallic version of Tim Burton, Michel Gondry's initial promise has given way to a series of films whose diminishing returns demonstrate that he's a talented visualist without the capacity for, or worse, any interest in, telling an actual story. Gondry's defenders will, of course, point to the excellent "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," but the passage of years has made it abundantly clear that the credit for that film belongs entirely to screenwriter Charlie Kaufman; Gondry may have gotten out of the way of that script, but that's hardly a reason to celebrate his skills or capabilities, such as they are, beyond that. The messy "Be Kind, Rewind," the cutesy-creepy "The Science of Sleep," the noisome and needless "Green Hornet"...Gondry's name above a title has gone from being a reason to seek a film to being a reason to shun it.

‘Mood Indigo’ starring Audrey Tautou and Romain Duris – foreign trailer review
31 January 2013 11:23 AM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Mood Indigo
Directed by: Michel Gondry
Starring: Audrey Tautou, Romain Duris, Omar Sy
Rating: Not Yet Rated
Release Date: Tba (April 24, 2013 in France)
Trailer Score: 9/10
Thoughts by Tsr: The first thing you might notice about this trailer for Michel Gondry’s Mood Indigo is that there is a distinct lack of subtitles. If your understanding of French is similar to mine, you were able to understand “bonjour” and not much else. Luckily the Gondry magic shines through thanks to see-through limos, cloud cars, and Omar Sy dancing. Even without understanding the French parts, the images and tone sell this film perfectly well.
Gondry is a director I consider myself a big fan of despite only loving one of his films. While I haven’t been a huge fan of his past few efforts – The Science of Sleep, Be Kind Rewind, and The Green Hornet all have aspects I like, but »

‘Mood Indigo’ Trailer Sees Michel Gondry Going Gloriously Over the Top
25 January 2013 5:00 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Though most of the people who read this site probably don’t speak French, you’re likely all going to want to watch the French trailer for Michel Gondry’s new film L’écume des jours (or Mood Indigo when we get a trailer in English) anyway. There really isn’t much talking here, and Gondry’s work is so visual that you’ll get the gist of what’s going on anyway. And Audrey Tautou… well, she does adorable in any language. The basic premise of the film seems to be that Tautou and Romain Duris are in love, they live in a magical world that resembles Gondry’s imagination more so than it does the world we live in, and everyone is happy. If this movie could be compared to anything else, it would have to be something whimsical and visual that Gondry has done like The Science of Sleep, only »

Michel Gondry's Back With Mood Indigo Trailer
25 January 2013 8:50 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
With films to his credit like The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Be Kind Rewind and The Science of Sleep, Michel Gondry is considered by many to be among the most imaginative and whimsical of contemporary filmmakers. And while his take on the superhero genre, 2010's Green Hornet, was not well-received, he is back to his old and much beloved tricks with his upcoming romance Mood Indigo. Based on Boris Vian's novel L. Ecume des jours, Gondry's latest focuses on an unconventional love story. Amelie's Audrey Tautou co-stars with Romain Duris of L'Auberge Espagnole, playing Chloe and Nicholas, a pair of lovers whose happily ever after is threatened when Chloe sprouts a deadly water lily in her lungs. We got a sneak peek of the film last summer, when a string of production stills were released. Now, you can see the film's French trailer below, thanks to »
Watch: Gorgeous First Trailer For Michel Gondry's 'Mood Indigo' With Romain Duris, Audrey Tautou & Omar Sy
25 January 2013 2:38 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While he was responsible for one of the best films of the '00s with "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," it's been a while since we really fell for something by Michel Gondry. Follow-up "The Science Of Sleep" had its charms, as did documentary "The Thorn In The Heart," but his major films like "Be Kind Rewind," "The Green Hornet" and "The We & the I" have swung between being cripplingly uneven and borderline unwatchable. But we're always hopeful for a return to form, and it looks like it might have arrived in the shape of his return to French-language cinema for "Mood Indigo," the first trailer for which has just arrived. Featuring an all-star cast of Romain Duris ("The Beat That My Heart Skipped"), Audrey Tautou ("Amelie"), Gad Elmaleh ("Midnight In Paris") and Omar Sy ("The Intouchables"), the adaptation of Boris Vian's 1947 novel »

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2013: #34. Michel Gondry’s Mood Indigo
14 January 2013 10:45 AM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Mood Indigo
Director: Michel Gondry
Writer(s): Luc Bossi
Producer(s): Luc Bossi
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Audrey Tautou, Omar Sy, Romain Duris, Gad Elmaleh, Alain Chabat
The last time Gondry made something noteworthy in the film realm it was 2006′s The Science of Sleep – and coincidentally, from purely from a concept point of view, the world created in Boris Vian’s L’écume des jours / Mood Indigo might be terrific terrain for Gondry to work his mad-hatter manners into a film narrative. Headling are the trio of Audrey Tautou, Omar Sy and Romain Duris.
Gist: A woman suffers from an unusual illness caused by a flower growing in her lungs.
Release Date: Studicanal gives the film a French theatrical release in the month of April, so will the Cannes Film Festival show this out of comp for international critics? We think yes.
