Instant Review: Directors Label Vol 3: The Work of Michel Gondry

[prog]

"Slackjawed astonishment."

Haven't watched them all yet, but I think my favorite so far is the video for The Chemical Brothers' Star Guitar, which almost brought me to tears when I realized what I was looking at. And then got to enjoy it for several more minutes.

Also contains another playful video for Fell in Love with a Girl. I dunno if the Lego Crystal Display version will replace the Flash kitties version as the thing I imagine when I hear the song, but the kitties didn't make me say "holy shit" despite myself several times while watching them, so.

Also also got the first two volumes from the set, including a Spike Jonze disc, but haven't really watched em yet; Gondry was the one especially recommended to me. (Well, I did dip into the Jonze just to see a full-screen version of Fatboy Slim's The Dancing Christopher Walken Song or whatever it's called, which I have seen only in Wee Bootleg Quicktime format before today. Yay yay.)

I bought a DVD of Chemical Brothers videos today, just for the Star Guitar video on your recommendation. I have not watched it yet.
