Film Preview: Mood Indigo

Michel Gondry co-writes and directs this French language movie based on the 1947 book Froth on the Daydream by Boris Vian. Gondry is known for his slightly surreal style in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep. 

Starring Audrey Tautou (Amelie) and Omar Sy (Untouchable), the film is in a strange and surreal world where we follow Colin and Chloe whose love and happiness is threatened by a bizarre illness where a flower is starting to grow inside Chloe's lungs which is a danger to her health. The French have produced some superb films in recent years and are renowned for pushing the boundaries of cinema so there is some intrigue and anticipation for Gondry's latest film.

Mood Indigo is released in the UK on 24th April 2013 and the trailer is embedded below:
