As fun as Gondry is and as interesting as it is to see where his whimsical approach to film making comes from (occasionally subverting the documentary format) you're left wondering why you should care. I guess there are some universally fraught family tensions but generally it feels like this film is made for his own family and not intended for a wider audience.
Moving & subtle. Maybe if Michel Gondry & his crew, had taken more of a back seat in this film about his charming family it would have been an easier film to watch. But an interesting film for all that.
Excellent movie. I saw this at SxSW last week and enjoyed it. Michel - Thanks for sharing about your Aunt Suzette and family.
Saw thus last night at sxsw. I love it. Gentle and engaging. A beautiful mix 16mm and 8mm home movies.
