The new trailer for Michel Gondry’s next film has a little more plot and a little less Lumineers than the first one, but it’s beautiful. Keep this one on your radar. Mood Indigo stars Audrey Tautou (Amélie), Romain Duris, and Omar Sy (The Intouchables, X-Men: Days of Future Past).
The film is based on the novel by Boris Vian. Its synopsis follows:
In a world where you can travel around on a pink cloud or literally be swept off an ice-skating rink into a hole, Colin, a wealthy young man and inventor of the cocktail-mixing piano, wants to fall in love. With the help of his cook Nicolas and best friend Chick, he meets Chloe, the incarnation of a Duke Ellington tune. But soon after their wedding, Chloe falls ill. She has a water lily growing in her chest. Ruined by medical expenses, Colin resorts to increasingly desperate methods to save his beloved’s life…
Mood Indigo opened yesterday in France and Belgium. It doesn’t have a US release date yet.

Thank you for making me aware of this movie!! I did not know Michel Gondry was still working on anything like this. Mood Indigo seems to have the same sort of vibe as The Science of Sleep and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
