DVD is old hat, but this disc will give you insight into the amazing mind and creative process of French director, Michel Gondry. He’s helmed over 27 ground breaking music videos before going on to direct features such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Be Kind Rewind. It’s volume 3 of 7 in the series, but is easily the best because of the included 75-minute documentary “I’ve Been 12 Forever” where he shares how he came up with some of his crazy ideas.

This DVD is packed with Gondry’s tireless pursuit of perfection; he’ll do whatever’s necessary, no matter how simple or complex, to achieve perfect harmony between song, artist, and visual concept. All the while, he’s drawing from a seemingly endless well of inspiration, as evident in the delightful 52-page booklet of stories, drawings, photos, and interviews that chronicle the eternal sunshine of a brilliant mind.

Find out why artists such as Bjork, The White Stripes, Kylie Minogue, Beck, Foo Fighters, Oui Oui, Cibo Matto, Chemical Brothers and The Rolling Stones have chosen him to give form to their music.
