Win A Copy Of L’ecume Des Jours ' Book Mood Indigo is based on

Tomorrow sees the release of Michel Gondry's Mood Indigo and we have some copies of the book by Boris Vian on which Mood Indigo is based to give away as competition prizes!

The film is centred around the surreal and poetic tale of Colin, an idealistic and inventive young man, and Chloé, a young woman who seems like the physical embodiment of the eponymous Duke Ellington tune. Their idyllic marriage is turned on its head when Chloé falls sick with a water lily growing in her lung. To pay for her medical bills in this fantasy version of Paris, Colin must go out to work in a series of increasingly absurd jobs, while around them, their apartment disintegrates and their friends, including the talented Nicolas, and Chick – a huge fan of the philosopher Jean-Sol Partre – go to pieces.

L’ecume Des Jours is the 1947 French novel by Boris Vian on which Mood Indigo is based, and has been translated three times into English under different titles and been the been the basis for three feature films and an opera. Starting as a romance novel and ending as a tragedy, Vian wonderfully conjures a fantastical world around his protagonists leading many critics to place him as a post-surrealist "comedian of language".

Watch The Adorable Trailer For Michel Gondry's Mood Indigo

Feeling a little woozy maybe a little whimsical? It's probably because your about to watch the first trailer for Michel Gondry's Mood Indigo (L’écume des jours).

Based on a 1947 Boris Vian's novel L'ecume des jours about a wealthy young inventor Nicholas(Romain Duris) who falls in love Chloe (Audrey Tatou)they marry.Unfortunately during their honeymoon Chloe takes seriously ill thanks to a water lilly sprouts in her lung and the only way to help is to surround her with fresh flowers but as time goes by the funds start to dry up.

Mood Indigo is like that Michel Gondry film made into one big  film, this is the French trailer however there's very little dialogue as the strength of the trailer is in  it's visual quality which simply gorgeous. Many Gondry fans, film critics have been waiting nearly 10 years for that film that can match what we loved in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Mood Indigo might just be that film they have been waiting for. What can say without doubt this is uniquely a Michel Gondry film which is sure to be a hit in arthouse cinemas around the world.

Mood Indigo doesn't have a  release date confirmed however Studiocanal are handling the UK&Irish release , French cinephiles can see this 24th April. Mood Indigo also stars Omar Sy, Gad Elmaleh, Lea Seydoux.

From Disney To Michael Gondry 2013 Glasgow Youth Film Festival Programme Announced

The programme for the fifth annual Glasgow Youth Film Festival – the only film event in the UK curated entirely by 15-18 year olds – launches today, at Tramway’s Fresh Faced Winter Fayre. Working with staff at Glasgow Film Festival, the team of young programmers have organised workshops, special preview screenings of soon-to-be-released films, and even an outdoor dance party on the banks of the Clyde!

This year’s opening gala will be an advance preview screening of Disney’s latest, video game-themed release, Wreck-It Ralph, starring John C Reilly and Sarah Silverman; the festival closes with a preview of The We and the I, the hilarious, off- beat new film from director Michael Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).

A number of extra special events make the programme particularly unique this year. A team of street dancers and DJs will take over the River Clyde Embankment, creating a live homage to the innovative music/dance film Girl Walk // All Day, which saw dancers interacting with the public all over New York; the film will be simultaneously projected onto the riverbank. Elsewhere, London’s Paper Cinema company use puppetry, live animation, music and performance to create a one-off big screen version of The Odyssey, and members of the cast and crew of Channel 4’s hit sitcom Fresh Meat drop by for a masterclass. Enduring teen icon Ferris Bueller gets another day out, and a number of films get UK premieres, including Dutch comedy The Deflowering of Eva van End, Belgian drama The Day of the Crows, and from the US, Matthew Lilliard’s Fat Kid Rules the World, about a suicidal teen rocker.

The programme also includes a vibrant, internationally-focused range of animation, documentaries and films reflecting issues and experiences of young people around the world, and a series of workshops where industry professionals offer advice, tips and practical experience to young people interested in making a career in cinema. There’s plenty for little brothers and sisters too, from innovative family-focused short films to a live appearance by Children’s Laureate Julia Donaldson.

The 2013 festival will run from 3-13 February 2013, the actual Glasgow Film Festival starts the day after Glasgow Youth Film Festival finishes,running from 14-24 February.
