Though he might be best known for his video collaborations with Björk, director Michel Gondry got his start playing drums in the French pop band Oui Oui, before his clips for the band's songs started garnering him more attention as a filmmaker than as a musician. From there, he went on to direct award-winning commercials, short films, and countless videos for bands the likes of the White Stripes, Foo Fighters, and Daft Punk, many of which are collected on The Work of Director Michel Gondry. Also included are interviews of the artists with whom Gondry has collaborated. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Books could be written about Gondry's pieces, but this former drummer remains a rock & roller at heart. Invariably, his videos are visual invitations to bang your head.
-
Adam Tierney, IGN DVD
What's refreshing about Gondry, like Spike Jonze is that he's willing to drop the budget and polish to try something new.
-
Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
Comes with a few essentials, including the outstanding White Stripes video for "Fell in Love With a Girl."
-
Scott Weinberg, Daily-Reviews
Gondry has a gift for visual sleight-of-hand that simply boggles one's mind.
-
Leo Goldsmith, Not Coming to a Theater Near You
The work of Michel Gondry demonstrates that the music video can not only sell records, but also invest pop music with intimacy and emotion.
