Michel Gondry is currently one of the most acclaimed and respected music video directors in the industry. Gondry got his start while studying graphics at a French art school when he began directing videos for the band Oui Oui, for which he played drums. The clips' success attracted other local bands, and it wasn't long before he was working internationally. In 1993 Gondry met pop singer Bjork, commencing one of his longest and most successful professional creative relationships. Their first collaboration, the video for "Human Behavior," won practically every existing music video award. Gondry went on to helm another five of Bjork's videos, including "Joga" and "Bachelorette," while also collaborating with wide-ranging artists such as The Rolling Stones, Beck, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz, Sheryl Crow and Cibo Matto.
One of his first spots, Levi's "Drugstore" (1994), garnered the Lion D'Or at Cannes and is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most award-winning commercial of all time. Among his other notable credits are Levi's "Mermaids," winner of a silver at the Clio Awards and a bronze at Cannes; and Smirnoff's "Smarienburg" (1997), which captured gold medals at Cannes and the Clio Awards. Most recently, Gondry completed a series of spots for Gap's lyrical "That's Holiday" campaign, as well as Levi's "Bellybuttons."
Human Nature, written by Charlie Kaufman and starring Patricia Arquette, Rhys Ifans and Tim Robbins, was released in April of 2002 through Fine Line Pictures, marking the feature film debut of this celebrated music video and commercial director. Gondry began production on his second feature film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, in the January 2003.
