From the brilliant and chaotic mind of visionary filmmaker Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) comes a new tour de force of off-beat humour and pathos.
A rustic village in Cévennes is a world away from the power-broking environment of the French film industry, and that is where Marc has gone to surreptitiously re-edit his new film and rekindle the creative spark that has been dormant for too long. Joined by a small crew of his exhausted, long-suffering and most loyal collaborators, Marc’s battle to overcome self-sabotage, procrastination and distractions is depicted with the flair, vitality and whimsy that only a Gondry film can bring.

The second Gondry film I've had the chance to see and I'm beginning to understand his huge popularity (at least in France, the response in the cinema was incredible). I won't go on at length, but it’s the best comedy I had the pleasure of seeing at Cannes, and probably one of the best comedies of the last few years. I don't think I've ever seen so much laughter in a movie theater. I wish so much that other directors would take at least a little example from French comedies, they are so fresh, unpredictable, with novel humour and dialogue. A great Pierre Niney, who made me cry with laughter with his conducting scene. One big Bravo. Put this film on your radar, if it comes to us as part of the French Film Festival, don't miss it.
