Sweding

Michel Gondry’s latest is heading this way, lots of clips are up over at the Be Kind Rewind website. In Gondy’s new film Jack Black and Mos Def (yes that Mos Def) run a video store which has all it’s stock erased, something magnetic wipes the tapes, which of course gives them the chance to remake the most popular movie in their own DIY style or to Swede the films in the movies own terminology.

Here are “Sweded” versions of Robocop and Ghostbusters. I’m looking forward to catching this, it looks commercial but hopefully with enough of a Gondry vibe to keep some of his crazy genius.





Meanwhile Gondry has directed the video for Declare Independence the latest single from Bjork’s album Volta. It is the first Gondy/ Bjork collaboration since the video to Bachelorette which was made ten years ago. It’s always good to see these two work together, hopefully there won’t be such a long gap between projects next time.
