HELLO REWIND
_________________________________________________________________________________________
A trend for hand-made poetic work and imitative revisitation/revivalism, be sure (not) to miss Gondry's latest paper-scissor-paste film! If you are in the Big Apple, Michel Gondry is also showing some 'bekind-the-scene' work at Deitch Projects (16•Feb•)

Be Kind Rewind follows Jerry (Jack Black), a junkyard worker who attempts to sabotage a power plant he suspects of causing his headaches. But he inadvertently causes his brain to become magnetized, leading to the unintentional destruction of all the movies in his friend’s (Mos Def) store. In order to keep the store’s one loyal customer, an elderly lady with a tenuous grasp on reality, the pair re-create a long line of films including The Lion King, Rush Hour, Ghostbusters, When We Were Kings, Back to the Future, Driving Miss Daisy, and Robocop, putting themselves and their townspeople into it. They become the biggest stars in their neighborhood.
