In her review, Amy Nicholson (LA Weekly) writes the film is, “bitter candy, a heartbreaker that uses sugar as a trap.”
MOOD INDIGO was nominated for three 2014 César Awards: Étienne Charry (Best Original Music), Florence Fontaine (Best Costume) and Stéphane Rozenbaum (Best Production Design).
Head over to SLATE where you can read their article about production designer Stéphane Rozenbaum’s work on the film:
“He won a 2014 César Award (the French equivalent of an Oscar) for his work on MOOD INDIGO and previously worked with Gondry on The Science of Sleep. Rozenbaum was interviewed via phone from the set of Gondry’s next film about creating the show-stealing designs for MOOD INDIGO. Rozenbaum also shared several personal photos that he took on the set during film production.”
Eminently inventive Michel Gondry finds inspiration from French novelist Boris Vian’s cult novel to provide the foundation for this visionary and romantic love story starring Audrey Tautou (Amélie, Coco Before Chanel) and Romain Duris (The Beat My Heart Skipped).
Set in a charmingly surreal Paris, Duris plays wealthy bachelor Colin, whose hobbies include developing his pianocktail (a cocktail-making piano) and devouring otherworldly dishes prepared by his trusty chef Nicolas (Omar Sy, The Intouchables). When Colin learns that his best friend Chick (Gad Elmaleh, The Valet), a fellow acolyte of the philosopher Jean-Sol Partre, has a new American girlfriend, our lonely hero attends a friend’s party in hopes of falling in love himself.
He soon meets Chloé (Audrey Tautou) and, before they know it, they’re dancing to Duke Ellington and plunging headfirst into a romance that Gondry rapturously depicts as only he can. Their whirlwind courtship is tested when an unusual illness plagues Chloe; a flower begins to grow in her lungs. To save her, Colin discovers the only cure is to surround Chloe with a never-ending supply of fresh flowers.
