The Book of Solutions
'The Book of Solutions' is a film by French filmmaker Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) that addresses the complications of creative work, especially in the world of cinema. The plot follows Marc (Pierre Niney, A Perfect Man), a filmmaker whose new movie is in chaos: it's over budget, lacks a clear vision, and the investors are restless. When the studio finally wrests control of the film from him, he responds by taking the computers, disks, and his collaborators to his aunt's country house, where he intends to finish the film on his own terms... if only he could stop procrastinating, shirking his responsibilities, and starting a thousand new tasks. Following Gondry's typical playful, surreal, and music video-like visual style, the movie draws inspiration from his bad experience directing Mood Indigo a decade earlier, which the director himself describes as "megalomaniacal." Perhaps he hasn't fully recovered: this film is as indulgent and unfocused as the experience that inspired it. However, there are very fun ideas and good visual comedy. If you enjoy the French filmmaker's previous work, you'll like this one.
