Like Son of Rambow, this is all about the spirit of the filmmaking process. All the inventiveness, hair-splitting decisions, tensions between cast and crew, and that one occasional spark of genius that brings it all together is represented in entertaining fashion. And of course, Gondry is no stranger to the process and he unquestionably understands what it takes to make a film. Bringing together an unlikely duo in Black and Mos Def, the several classics they decide to “swede” (ie: 2001) are very creative in craftsmanship and I couldn’t help but admire some of the ideas. You could really use some of these ideas to make your own movies work on shoestring budgets: aspiring filmmakers take note.
