Drafthouse Films has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to acclaimed director Michel Gondry's (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) latest film L'écume des jours a.k.a Mood Indigo (2013), starring Audrey Tautou (Amelie), Omar Sy (The Intouchables) and Romain Duris (L' auberge espagnole). The distributors plan a multi-platform release later this year.
Based on Boris Vian's novel. The surreal and poetic tale of Colin (Duris), an idealistic and inventive young man, and Chloe (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 Chloe 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.
