So after we saw “la Science des Reves“, the director’s commentary and the extra stuff on the dvd, we made favorable remarks about the actors and the director. It was pleasant to see Gael García Bernal, since Amores Perros and Charlotte Gainsbourg, whom I have never seen act but enjoyed her music.
Michel Gondry was especially funny and endearing. Revisit the extra footages on the dvd, it’s worth it.

His upcoming movie is called “Be Kind Rewind“, with Jack Black, Mos Def, Danny Glover et al. The official trailer.

Here is Michel Gondry’s trailer.
