France Michel Gondry
A marvelous, ferociously inventive little love story. This combined elements of Terry Gilliam, Jan Svankmeyer, Pee Wee Herman, Tex Avery and the wonderfully absurdist nonsense of Dada and surrealism.
But at its heart it's a simple little variation on Love Story...just done with a fertile imagination. This guy's music videos were a revelation and this is the first feature he's done that fully uses the promise seen there.
I loved this...it made me laugh, tickled me, dazzled me and gave me heart...that it's still possible for a wildly creative artist to make and release a film that reflects his own, singular vision. And to top it off it actually moved me at the end. Kudos.
