Some stuff still from an august film-session. Image: Screenstill from the musicvideo Bachelorette by Björk, directed by Michel Gondry. Michel Gondry, born May 8, 1963, is a French Academy Award winning screenwriter, film, commercial and music video director. He is noted for his inventive visual style and manipulation of mise en scène. Michel Gondry was born in Versailles, France. His career as a filmmaker began with creating music videos for the French rock band Oui Oui, in which he also served as a drummer. The style of his videos for Oui Oui caught the attention of music artist Björk, who asked him to direct the video for her song "Human Behaviour". The collaboration proved long-lasting, with Gondry directing a total of six music videos for her. Other artists who have collaborated with Gondry on more than one occasion include Daft Punk, The White Stripes, The Chemical Brothers, The Vines and Beck. Gondry is often cited, along with directors Spike Jonze, David Fincher, and Marcus Nispel, as representative of the influx of music video directors into feature film. Gondry made his feature film debut in 2001 with Human Nature, garnering mixed reviews. His second film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was released in 2004. Eternal Sunshine utilizes many of the image manipulation techniques that Gondry had experimented with in his music videos.
