Career
With an emphasis on emotions, Gondry's vision and work began. He says that a lot of his inspiration came from Le voyage en ballon. "I dream I'm flying and then I do stories about people flying." "I think it's directly influencing."
His career as a filmmaker began with making music videos for the French rock band Oui Oui Oui Oui Oui Oui Oui Oui Oui, in which he also worked as a drummer. Björk, a musician who asked him to direct the video for her song "Human Behaviour," caught her interest. The relationship was long-running, with Gondry directing eight music videos for Björk.
Daft Punk, The White Stripes, The Chemical Brothers, The Vines, Steriogram, Radiohead, and Beck are among the many artists who have collaborated with Gondry on more than one occasion. In the Best Music Video (short form) category at the 37th Grammy Awards, Gondry's film "Lucas with the Lid Off" was selected (one of two Gondry music videos nominated that year, as well as Sinéad O'Connor's Fire On Babylon).
Gondry has also produced numerous television commercials. In the 1996 "Smarienberg" commercial for Smirnoff vodka, he pioneered the "bullet time" campaign, as well as directing a series of inventive holiday-themed ads for clothing chain Gap.
Gondry, as well as producers Spike Jonze and David Fincher, is representative of the inflow of music video directors into feature film. Gondry made his debut with Human Nature in 2001, receiving mixed feedback. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, his second film with screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, was released in 2004 and received high praise, making it one of the year's most acclaimed films.
Eternal Sunshine employs many of the image manipulation methods that Gondry had experimented with in his music videos. Gondry received an Academy Award for his screenplay of Eternal Sunshine, as well as Kaufman and Pierre Bismuth. Gondry's music videos are often based on videography and camera tricks that mimic frames of reference.
Gondry also produced Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006), which followed comedian Dave Chappelle as he attempted to stage a massive, free concert in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. In September 2006, his sequel, The Science of Sleep, debuted in theaters. Gael Garca Bernal, a Mexican actor, appears in this film, and it marks a return to the magical, surreal techniques he used in Eternal Sunshine.
According to Guinness World Records 2004, Gondry's Levi's Levi's "Drugstore" spot holds the record for "Most awards won by a television commercial." The commercial was never airing in North America due to the provocative content surrounding the purchase of latex condoms.
He was invited by French comedian duet Éric and Ramzy to direct Seuls Two, but he turned down; Éric and Ramzy later asked Mr Oizo to direct another film, Steak.
Gondry made his debut as an installation artist at Deitch Projects in SoHo, New York City's SoHo gallery district in September 2006. The exhibition, "The Science of Sleep: An Exhibition of Sculpture and Pathological Creepy Little Gifts," included props from his film "The Science of Sleep," as well as film clips and a collection of gifts that the artist gave to women he admired, including former or current collaborators Karen Baird, Kishu Chand, Dorothy Barrick, and Lauri Faggioni, all of whom were present or present collaborators, as well as film clips and a few of
A leitmotif of the film is a 'Disastrology' calendar; Gondry commissioned artist Baptiste Ibar to produce harrowing pictures of natural and human disasters.
Olivier "Twist" Gondry, a television commercial and music video producer, produces videos for bands including The Stills, Hot Hot Heat, Daft Punk, and The Vines. Michel Gondry's uncle is also an actor, singer, and film producer.

"Unnatural Love," Gondry's fifth episode of HBO's Flight of the Conchords, was directed by Gondry. Interior Design was one of the three major productions of the 2008 anthology film Tokyo. Gondry was the next step. The interior design was based on Gabrielle Bell's comic book "Cecil and Jordan in New York," but the film was shot from New York City to Tokyo.
