Mood Indigo

Movie Review | Christopher Ratcliff | 6th May 2014

I don't know about you, but I like my romantic comedies to be like a punch in the dick. Just a really sharp jab to my tenderest parts. I've had enough of all the mealy-mouthed cooing of your standard rom-com. Where's the cruelty? Where's the misanthropy? Where's the fear of mortality? Who cares about love when one of you is just going to die and leave the other one with a massively expensive hospital bill anyway?

Finally asking all the questions that Friends With Benefits and Failure to Launch didn't ask is Michel Gondry's endlessly twisting and sadistic Mood Indigo. A film that hates love, hates its protagonists and hates you even more.

Movie Review | Mark | 27th February 2008

Be Kind Rewind is an unsung lament to a sadly dying art. In the same way that Cinema Paradiso harked back to a golden age - the time when the community would gather around a flickering screen and unite by the common spectacle - Michel Gondry's latest effort manages to evoke that dying memory of the time when people would clap at...

The Science Of Sleep

Movie Review | Ali | 19th February 2007

Michel Gondry is very possibly a genius. Michel Gondry is also very possibly cursed by his gift. A visionary in the truest sense of the word, he seems incapable of making an ordinary film - just take a look at the music videos on his CV and marvel at the amount of originality and ingenuity squeezed into mere three minute pop s...

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

Movie Review | Ali | 3rd September 2004

They say the average human only uses 5% of his brain. Charlie Kaufman is certainly not the average human, and if scientific boffins were to poke their bits and bobs into his frontal lobe, I think you'd find the results to be most startling. The creative genius behind Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, Kaufman is the hottest ...
