Michel Gondry’s ‘Mood Indigo’ Trailer

Here’s he first trailer for Michel Gondry‘s new film Mood Indigo and it looks like the director is headed back to his quirky visuals in a big way with this one.  The film stars Audrey Tautou, Romain Duris, and Omar Sy, and is based on a French novel of the same name by Boris Vian.
