If Melies had a son, it would be Michel Gondry. A brilliant jack-of-all-trades, his eccentric talent convinced the creative elite of international pop music to entrust him with their music videos (Bjork, the Rolling Stones, Daft Punk, The White Stripes, Beck). He charted his own course in Hollywood -without ever renouncing his rather crazy style- and became one of the rare Oscar-winning French filmmakers (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). His work is a constant praise of wonder through craftsmanship, its humanist ambition also a political act.
