French director Michel Gondry, best known for "Eternal Sunshine
of the Spotless Mind" and his many collaborations with Icelandic
diva Bjork, was at MIT last night for a screening of his latest
flick, "Tokyo!" (Gondry
is one of three directors who filmed segments of the film.) The
former MIT artist-in-residence said he was happy to be back in
Cambridge, despite the excruciating cold. "It's a perfect environment
for me, because it's where art meets science," he said, of MIT. "In
France, art is much more associated with literature, and more
political. I like the spirit here." Gondry also revealed that
he's working on a new film, set at MIT, about time travel. "I'm
rewriting the screenplay, so we're not shooting yet," he said,
laughing.
