Back by popular demand! Michel Gondry, director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind unleashes his powerful imagination on French novelist Boris Vian’s 1947 cult novel “Froth on a Daydream.” Packed with stunningly inventive imagery the film is the fantasy of a man named Colin (Romain Duris), who falls for a beautiful woman named Chloe (Audrey Tautou) at a party in Paris. They decide to marry but events turn tragic when she falls ill because of a water lily growing inside her lungs. The only cure is to surround her with flowers.

Reviews
Mood Indigo is a gorgeously realized fairy tale tinged with the surreal. Gondry breaks out every trick in his book, employing his trademark handmade effects, stop motion, whimsical sets and a total disregard for physics to create an utterly unique experience. You’ve never encountered anything quite like this film.
