First Impression: It's not often that whimsy is employed to tear your heart out.

Final review: www.larsenonfilm.com/mood-indigo

Michel Gondry must have thought he was making one of his music videos the whole time

Over-stretched leg dancing is my nightmare!

A love story with some beautiful moments, heartfelt emotions and fantasy. It is a very visually striking film with the distinctive style of director Michel Gondry. Unfortunately, despite the chemistry between Duris and Tautou, it feels flat.

I love the fact that the work explores the visual stimulus to bring us closer to the characters' feelings. The aesthetics of the film change as the emotions change. The film starts out colorful and full of life. As Chloé gets sick, the film gains dark tones, tight spaces, morbidity.
 My favorite part of this film are the visual metaphors. In a certain scene, the protagonist couple rides on a cable car in cloud format, just when they are feeling in the clouds, in the stasis of a first date.
 The flowers of Chloé's treatment further embellish this surrealist work by creating beautiful scenes.
 Without any doubts, it’s one of my favorite films.

Absolutely chaotic creativity with a non-stop barrage of hilarious inventive bullshit in the first half, not begging the audience to understand anything and just being an entertaining journey. Around the midway point it does somewhat loses itself, but in the same way that something like Brazil or High Rise "lose themselves". While there are definitely some highlights in the latter half, it rarely manages to grasp the heights that the first has to offer again, as it battles much darker and uncomfortable themes.

It's teetering between a 3 and a 4 at the moment, and I'll give it the higher rating to see if it sticks with me and maintains it after some thought. Totally respect anyone who loves this though, and I'd easily recommend it to Terry Gilliam fans as it really feels in tune with his style and humour. Would like to revisit it sometime with a group of people.

Well I guess that's one way to end a movie.

Um mundo divertido e surreal, me surpreendeu bastante e foi instigando cada vez mais, conforme a trama avançava.

One of the most aesthetically unique movies I have ever seen. When we as an audience asked "But why?" The creative team answered "But why not?".

so sad wtf and the wikipedia summary sounds like a completely different movie im so confused but i enjoyed the quasi-satirical aspects of it and the clever cg mixed in with more old-fashioned, obvious camera tricks

le plus beau film que j’ai vu de ma vie, les couleurs sont très jolies, je ne suis pas très douée lorsqu’il s’agit de donner un avis critique sur un film mais il en vaut le détour et est très beau <3

O surrealismo do Gondry é tão bom de ver! Filmes assim que fazem sentido saindo da realidade são tocantes e misturar emoções pra passar mensagens é lindo! Além de tudo, a Audrey Tautou dá um toque bem Amelie Poulain e o Osmar Sy é um ótimo ator!

3 1/2 out of 5 stars. Yes, another Gondry film with his whimsical style and storytelling! I’d never turn it down! He has the eye of an artist and real vision. This might be the best his brand of visuals and effects have ever looked, but unfortunately the film is a bit confusing and nonsensical. I see what he was going for, but I’m not sure it totally landed for me. Some good music throughout, like Boz Scaggs and it was nice to look at and experience, so extra half star for that!

Tu vas la pianocktailizer?

Faut vraiment être débile pour essayer d’adapter du Boris Vian à l’écran. 
Je dirai que tout est à chier, à part peut être le choix des acteurs, même si leur jeu correspond trop à l’univers naïf et stupide créé par le réalisateur. A éviter à tout prix, lisez plutôt le livre bande de feignasses illettrés

Utter masterpiece and one of my faves, this is the only kind of cinematic adaptation of Boris Vian’s L’ecume des jours that could ever have been

🥰

If Wes Anderson read Marxist theory.

Interesting.
