A SENSE OF JOY infects Michel Gondry’s work. Getting his start in the spiritual abattoir that is the music video industry, Gondry elevated the medium, joining Spike Jonze as one of the few auteurs on MTV. His videos for the White Stripes (the Lego-themed “Fell in Love with a Girl”) and the Foo Fighters (the dreamscape-saturated “Everlong”) are as close to works of art as the format has produced; both radiate a high level of energy and a true love for the ideas that inspire them, be they toy bricks or the world we travel to while sleeping.
