Michel Gondry grew up in a musical family, and his grandfather was an inventor. His filmmaking career began with music videos for the band Oui Oui, for which he was the drummer. Gondry’s creativity blossomed even further after meeting Björk, and he went on to collaborate with numerous prominent artists, ultimately making his way to Hollywood. Director François Nemeta, who met Gondry during the latter’s Oui Oui days and came to work with him as an assistant director over many years, delves into the creative essence of this man who has changed the world with his DIY spirit. The film goes from Gondry’s early music video days to the sets of his more recent films, revealing the secrets of a rare artistic talent through a mixture of extremely personal footage, extensive archive material, and interviews with family members and artists including the Chemical Brothers and Beck. Expression, creativity, and what it takes to excel at both. Michel Gondry’s journey serves as a road map for anyone who aspires to become an artist—plus a firm push to get them going.
