Escape with Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind — a whimsical film and welcome departure from the high-tech rat race that's going on.

Be Kind Rewind: Just a Silly Good Time

When I first saw the trailer for Be Kind Rewind, it made me feel all happy and giggly. I had relatively high hopes for the movie itself, thinking it would have that bizarre brand of humor I've come to expect from writer/director Michel Gondry and, satisfyingly, I was right. It's not the funniest film ever, and it's not the best use we've seen of Gondry's hyperactive imagination — it's just a Read more

Michel Gondry Makes a Trailer Within His Trailer

This video of Michel Gondry spoofing his own movie's trailer is funny, and so meta it hurts my brain. Gondry's latest film Be Kind Rewind finds Jack Black and Mos Def working at a video store where all the videos suddenly become erased. Their solution? Recreate the movies themselves. Now Gondry has made his own version of the trailer as though his trailer were erased, so he recreates it by Read more
