Beck, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jack Black, Jack White, Michel Gondry, Spike JonzeOriginally produced by Cargo Film & Releasing in 2023.If Georges Méliès had a modern-day heir, it would be Michel Gondry. A brilliant, eccentric jack-of-all-trades, Gondry’s unique DIY talent drew the creative elite of global pop music—Björk, The Rolling Stones, Daft Punk, The White Stripes, Beck, Paul McCartney — who trusted his madcap visions to redefine the music video forever. He then blazed his own trail in Hollywood, all while maintaining his signature offbeat style and artistic integrity, earning him an Oscar for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This film is a rare and personal window into the mind and career of a singular artist who celebrates wonder and imagination on his own terms. At its core, Gondry’s DIY artistry offers a deeply humanist ambition and stands as a political act.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

The wall of life : pictures and stories from this marvelous lifetime / by MacLaine, Shirley,1934-author.;
"With over seventy years on the silver screen, Shirley MacLaine has, as she says, seen it all, done it all, been everywhere, and met everyone. In 1955, she debuted in Hollywood as the lead role in The Trouble with Harry, winning her the first of many Golden Globes, and from there, her popularity only grew as she amassed a stunning collection of awards, stories, and experiences. Now, at nearly ninety years old, MacLaine has more stories to tell and the pictures to bring them to life. By introducing readers to her extensive photo collection, MacLaine shares both intimate family memories and images from some of the most significant figures from film, entertainment, and politics. With her natural wit and charm, she reveals the stories behind each photo, exploring ambition, love, friendship, motherhood, art, political activism, and more. By doing so, MacLaine charts the course of her remarkable life and career, sharing both early memories (her childhood with her brother Warren Beatty, her decision to leave for New York City at age sixteen, her early work on Broadway, and becoming a mother) as well as remembrances of her days in the public eye (campaigning for George McGovern, traveling to meet political luminaries, starring in legendary film roles, and developing an interest in spirituality). Along the way, readers gain greater insight into figures such Frank Sinatra, Bob Fosse, Bette Davis, Jack Nicholson, the Dalai Lama, Fidel Castro, Mikhael Baryshnikov, and many more. And whether she's sharing what advice Elvis Presley asked her for, how she consoled close friend Elizabeth Taylor after the death of her husband, or which prime minister she discussed UFOs with, MacLaine offers her most visual and candid book yet, giving readers an unprecedented glance into a life like no other"--
