Gondry needs no introduction, but
Mia Doi Todd (his current girlfriend?) might. Quick, to the Wikipedia cave...
"Mia Doi Todd (born June 30 1975) is a musician from Los Angeles, CA, United States.
Mia Doi Todd's seventh album Gea was named as LA Weekly's
Top-10 Recordings of 2008.... Mia toured the US and Canada as guest artist
for Jose Gonzalez.
She speaks rudimentary Japanese."
Okay, that'll do. The real news, of course, is that Gondry has made another music promo. It's not his most mind-bendingly creative work but average Gondry is still better than most directors' A-game so who's complaining, and there are still plenty of clever touches that visualize sound in interesting ways, such as the extended final shot, a thing of simple beauty.
Yeah, it's a bit twee, a bit "Sony Bravia", and it isn't
The Green Hornet movie, but there's always the new video to
Maccabees ft.
Roots Manuva directed by newcomer Alexander Brown (below) if all these candy-coloured hipsters give you brain-ache...
