It is no secret that Michel Gondry, the brilliant brain behind the much loved Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the soon to be fav The Science of Sleep, got his start with music videos.

Gondry cemented his genius in the film world by becoming the go-to-guy for cool hipster videos, famously working with artists such as Daft Punk, Bjork, and The Chemical Brothers, bringing a much needed breath of fresh air to the MTV generation.

Despite Gondry’s recent mega-star status, he keeps coming back to his roots -shooting unique music videos for unique musicians. Beck just so happens to be one of those lucky clients. Rolling Stone Magazine has released the behind the scenes pics for Beck’s new track “Cell Phones Dead” (off of his currently untitled October album) that capture the exceptionality and rarity of a Gondry production. Here is a sampling of some of the pics found at Rolling Stone magazine.

Interview: Marjane Satrapi & Vincent Paronnaud – Persepolis

The thrill of meeting Marjane Satrapi reminded me of being 6 years old at Disney Land when I met the living, breathing Cinderella. Except Cinderella was an actress with a blond wig and Marjane is the real woman behind her autobiographical graphic novel, turned movie, “Persepolis”. The distinctive mole on her nose and her dark sultry eyes rose off the page and appeared in front of me, smoking and speaking with a French accent.
