Mood Indigo
Starring: Audrey Tautou, Romain Duris, Omar Sy; and Gad Elmaleh (Rated MA – 130 min).
Moon Indigo is the surreal and poetic tale of Colin (Romain Duris), an idealistic and inventive young man, and Chloé (Audrey Tautou), 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 (Omar Sy), and Chick (Gad Elmaleh) – a huge fan of the philosopher Jean-Sol Partre – go to pieces.
Directed by one of contemporary cinema’s most visually inventive directors, Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), and starring Audrey Tautou (Amelie, Coco Before Chanel, The Da Vinci Code); Romain Duris (The Beat That My Heart Skipped, The Spanish Apartment); Omar Sy (Intouchables) and Gad Elmaleh (Priceless).
