“[The movie is] about a dictator who runs a crazy world where hair is the source of energy. The people there are forced to create art, and if the art is too good they are executed. So the dictator there doesn’t want anyone to be better than him so he kills the inmates who make good art. They try to make rubbish art but sometimes the worse it is for them, the better it is for the dictator.”
that is some kind of a premise
mind you Idiocracy had a great premise and it went nowhere fast
Michel Gondry has really crossed the fine line of 'surrealist/good'' and 'wacky/bad''.
daniel clowes should forget about films
and get back to eighball
he's still drawing!

Haven't checked it out, I'd rather wait till it's on paper.
the fact that Gondry's 16-year-old son is involved makes me cautious as well
but I'm sticking my neck out, this could be stupendous
are you serious?
this sounds appalling
is this like when two great forces somehow cancel each other out?
could be
could be stupendous!
Negative Nelly.
not at all
the stupider a premise sounds, the more likely i am to go and see a film
this just sounds very vague to me, that's all.
