Not About Football (for my wife)

Michel Gondry may be my favorite artist. He does things that seem like they should be visually impossible, yet they're totally smooth and seamless. I'd call him "fluid and highly eclectic". I became aware of his style with "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and realized that I had known of him much longer when I got the Palm Pictures compendium of his music videos.

There's something about his style, whether it's the study of construction/deconstruction of anything you can see, his seemingly DIY mechanics, the use of common themes (hands, windows, etc.) or just his surrealistic whimsy that keeps me enthralled.

He now has a few videos on YouTube, and I can easily forgive him for a commercial venture.

Two new movies in the hopper, too - "Be Kind Rewind" coming in January and "Master of Space and Time" (screenplay by Dan Clowes!) sometime in the future.
