Drafthouse Films, in conjunction with Cinedigm, has announced and detailed the Blu-ray release of Michel Gondry's
Mood Indigo, starring Audrey Tautou and Romain Duris. The 2-disc release of the romantic fantasy includes both the director's and extended cuts of the film, and arrives on Blu-ray on November 11th.
Official Synopsis: Endlessly inventive filmmaker Michel Gondry (
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,
The Science of Sleep) finds inspiration from French novelist Boris Vian's cult novel Froth on the Daydream to create this visionary, whimsical love story set in a charmingly surreal Paris, starring César winner Audrey Tautou and César nominee Romain Duris. Duris plays wealthy bachelor Colin, whose hobbies include developing his "pianocktail" (a cocktail-making piano) and devouring otherworldly dishes prepared by his trusty chef Nicolas (Omar Sy). When Colin learns that his best friend Chick (Gad Elmaleh), a fellow acolyte of the philosopher JeanSol Partre, has a new American girlfriend, our lonely hero attends a friend's party in hopes of falling in love himself.
He soon meets Chloé (Tautou) and before they know it, they're dancing to Duke Ellington and plunging headfirst into a romance that Gondry rapturously depicts as only he can. Their whirlwind courtship is tested when an unusual illness plagues Chloe: a flower begins to grow in her lungs. To save her, Colin discovers the only cure is to surround Chloe with a neverending supply of fresh flowers.
Mood Indigo, which also stars Charlotte Le Bon, won the 2014 César Award for production design and was nominated for two others, for original music and costumes.
