Did You Know?
| Trivia | Inspired by Michel Gondry's personal experience during the post-production of Mood Indigo (2013). Amongst the similarities: * Gondry did conduct an orchestra with his body for Mood Indigo (2013) (although the music was already composed); * the subplot with Sting refers to the participation of Paul McCartney who plays bass on several tracks in Mood Indigo (2013); * Gondry experimented with a non-chronological editing technique for Mood Indigo (2013) to avoid watching the first scenes too much: he started in the middle with scene 30, then scene 29, then scene 31, and so on until he reached both ends. * Gondry apparently entertained with Mood Indigo (2013) the idea of a four-hour movie with an animated intermission in the middle; * during the shoot of Mood Indigo (2013), Gondry was taking pills to regulate his mood and his obsessive behavior, then stopped after editing began, and he blew up like in the movie. Soon after, he was diagnosed bipolar by a psychiatrist. On top of this, the movie within the movie in The Book of Solutions (2023) is 50s-style movie with a mouse, like Mood Indigo (2013).
