Michael Gondry has to be one of the most original people in film right now. This clip for the Rolling Stones is brilliant. Apparently it is entirely composed from stills - not that you'd know it.

Don't forget Michel Gondry also directed at least 6 amazing Bjork clips (Bachelorette, Jorga, Army of Me,Hyperballad, Isobel, Human Behaviour) clips for Beck & Chemical Brothers
ReplyDeletethe clever Come into my world clip(2002) for Kylie
and most famously the All Around the World for Daft Punk and the brilliant "Everlong" (gothic short story) for Foo Fighters back in the beginning.

The Hardest Button is one of my many favourites and from memory used 36 drum kits!
There is a a DVD collection that is well worth going to the video library for.
