Favorite Videos of the Week

I’ve continued to feature music videos as my Favorite Video of the Day this week; and this time around I focused specifically on videos directed by Michel Gondry. Gondry is a French director with a wild, creative imagination and a love for playful, trick photography. He made a name for himself here in the States through his music videos and commercials, most of which have been collected on DVD as part of the Directors Label series (an incredible series of DVD’s, I own them all). In recent years, he’s directed films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Be Kind, Rewind. I hope you enjoy this small selection of his music videos.

The White Stripes – Fell In Love With A Girl: How can you not love a music video animated in Lego?

Kylie Minogue – Come Into My World: A delightfully surreal single shot. The direction and choreography taken to pull it off is impressive.

Chemical Brothers – Let Forever Be: A trippy video filled with mind-twisting visuals and choreography.

The White Stripes – The Hardest Button To Button: A great stop-motion-y kind of video that plays wonderfully with the pacing and construction of the song.

Bjork – Bachelorette: This video is not only filled with cool storytelling, it also tells an interestingly provocative story.
