Growing up in Versailles has a major influence on Michel Gondry’s work. Gondry’s family was very into art and pop music when he was in Versailles, and he decided he wanted to go into art. So in the 80’s Gondry went to art school in Paris. While in school he started a band called Oui-Oui. Gondry directed their first music video in 1992. This is where he first became interested in filmmaking.
Gondry worked with Charlie Kaufman with many films and his most popular film with him was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Another hit by Gondry which won several awards for best soundtrack and music is
The Science of Sleep
He has also created one of my personal favorites,
Be Kind Rewind.
Throughout all of his movies, especially the three above, that indie feel is portrayed and all the plots play an important role. While they have important plots the film style is unique enough to give each of these films his own style. I highly recommend giving these three particular movies a watching if you want to see a movie that sticks with you.

This is an awesome blog! Just checked it out for the first time. I really enjoyed how you gave multiple video examples within your post. Definitely going to check out Be Kind Rewind.
Glad you featured Michel Gondry! Eternal Sunshine is one of my all time favorite films, and Be Kind Rewind was awesome as well. I still have yet to see the Science of Sleep though, been on my extended to do list
