Mr. Gondry is an artistic genius! Let Forever Be has got to be one of the most visually dazzling, artistically creative, mind-tripping music videos ever made.
Michel Gondry is one of the few directors who can explain his work without sounding pretentious. In this clip he says that the aesthetic qualities of the Benny Hill show were the inspiration for the look of the Let Forever Be video. Brilliant! He's truly a product of our time, absorbing pop culture without prejudice, remixing it cleverly but very deliberately avoiding the clichés and excesses of both big-budget glam and faux preciousness in music video. Class act all the way.
I'm with you on that - awesome film! Did'nt know Michel Gondry directed it, but not surprised! Do you know if his new film (Be kind, Rewind) has similarly clever direction? Reluctant to watch it because I cant stand Jack Black!
hehe, thought the same, i think french people have huge problems to speak english correctly, don't ask me why. btw, awesome video, and great song! fits perfectly into the movie "the salton sea" starring val kilmer, one of my favourit movies.

The bad grammar in this song really grates... it ranks alongside "that'll learn you" and "borrow me that CD". :OP

im a videographer
and i would give anything to be able to manipulate film and make transitions like that
its one thing to have a program to do it for you
its a completely other (and way way harder) thing to do it the way he did it
