Michel Gondry


Born : May 8th 1963
His career as a filmmaker began with creating music videos for the French rock band Oui Oui, in which he also served as a drummer.Other artists who have collaborated with Gondry on more than one occasion include Daft Punk, The White Stripes, The Chemical Brothers, The Vines, Steriogram, Radiohead, and Beck.
Paul McCartney song "Dance Tonight", in which Gondry makes a cameo appearance.
Radio Head - Knives Out
It features Thom Yorke in a hospital by the bedside of a woman, played by Emma de caunes, who appears to be his partner in the video. The whole video was shot in one take, quite remarkable considering the scene changes required. Attempts to interpret the surreal imagery and fit it with the song lyrics were dashed when Gondry eventually revealed that the video was autobiographical. Some may find thematic parallels with Gondry's later film Eternal Sunshine of the spotless Mind.
