On Monday October 23rd at 3 pm at Casa del Cinema, the public is invited to see a screening of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: the cult-movie by Gondry, which won him the Oscar® for Best Original Screenplay together with Charlie Kaufman and Pierre Bismuth, is a reflection upon the fleeting nature and the utopia of love, suspended between comedy and melodrama. On Tuesday October 24th at 4 pm, Sala Sinopoli will be the venue for the preview screening of In Bed with Gondry by François Nemeta, the second documentary that the longtime collaborator dedicates to the filmmaker after Michel Gondry, Do It Yourself, presented this year at the Venice International Film Festival.
