Michel Gondry’s latest film is pure joy. A collaboration between himself and his daughter, Maya. The film is a series of short animated film he made for her while they were separated. She would suggest a title and he would use his phone and colored paper to make a story based on that. Gondry connected the films with the story of how they came together.
This film is absolute magic. It’s a film full of childlike wonder and deep love.
Telling stories of earthquakes, mermaids, cops and robbers and so many other things this is truly a film where anything can and does happen. Trust me there is no way to tell where any of the stories go. I sat in wide eyed wonder , my chin on the back of the seat in front of me with my mouth hanging open.- THIS is why we go to the movies.
It is also why Gondry is one of the great filmmakers of our age.
I can not recommend this film highly enough.
And if you don’t like it Phooey on you.
