New Michel Gondry Doc

Long-time music video darling of the Extra Cool club (Björk, White Stripes, Daft Punk, Radiohead to name but a few), pioneer of the Bullet Time technique and director of some very good movies, Michel Gondry recently premiered a new documentary L’Epine dans le Coeur (The Thorn in the Heart to you mono-linguists). Following up from his Dave Chappelle’s Bloc Party doco, this is a deeply personal oeuvre about the unlikely don of the Gondry family: his auntie Suzette. A subtle narrative exploration of his family secrets, the film was picked up by Partizan Films and will screen in cinemas near you shortly.
