New Michel Gondry Film Seems As Charming As He Is, Less French


No doubt: Gondry is a filmmaking genius. All the visual trickery he pulls off is purely organic, physical, inventive, beautifully real...you know, the complete opposite of a Cheetos-schlepping CGI geek's manipulative machinations.
His newest film, Be Kind Rewind, recently premiered in NY. Midway through this NYTimes review is a wee behind-the-scenes video snippet involving set up for the premiere's after-party, and conversation with Gondry himself. He is adorable, I can't deny it. I will say subtitles would have been helpful though.
