Rejoice, fans of Michel Gondry, whose wild visual inventiveness has enlivened not only “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” but lots of music videos and advertisements (I recommend seeking out the DVD collection of his short works that was released a few years back).

Check out the trailer for Gondry’s latest feature film, “Mood Indigo” (or, in the original French, “L’Ecume des Jours”), here: http://www.deadline.com/2013/04/mood-indigo-subtitled-michel-gondry-video/

It looks like it will certainly be up to Gondry’s usual eye-candy standards. It even features “Amelie” star Audrey Tautou and “Les Intouchables” star Omar Sy among others, so American audiences will see some familiar faces amid all the whimsy. 

Check it out and let us know what you think. Looks like a winner if you’re into that fluffy light French je ne sais quois.

“The Intouchables,” the story of an unlikely friendship and now one of the all-time French box-office stars, will now be representing that country in this year’s Foreign Language Oscar race.  I know a lot of people who really loved this film, and it has the Weinstein Company backing it, so look out, Oscar.  Read more here about the film: http://www.deadline.com/2012/09/france-selects-intouchables-as-foreign-language-oscar-submission/

On this recording, Deadline.com’s International Editor Nancy Tartaglione talks from a rain-soaked South of France about the first week of the Cannes Film Festival.

Nancy tells Deadline that, despite an unseasonable five days of rain and wind, lots of deals got done, particularly internationally.

Unsurprisingly, the biggest U.S. dealmaker of the festival was Harvey Weinstein, whose eponymous company had two films in competition, bought two more in the days just before the festival started and added another two during the fest. 

Overall, the show has seen solid and consistent business, if not spectacular, Nancy says. Check out our first podcast for more.
