Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaInspired by Michel Gondry's personal experience during the post-production of Mood Indigo (2013). Amongst the similarities:
- Gondry did conduct an orchestra with his body for Mood Indigo (2013) (although the music was already composed);
- the subplot with Sting refers to the participation of Paul McCartney who plays bass on several tracks in Mood Indigo (2013);
- Gondry experimented with a non-chronological editing technique for Mood Indigo (2013) to avoid watching the first scenes too much: he started in the middle with scene 30, then scene 29, then scene 31, and so on until he reached both ends.
- Gondry apparently entertained with Mood Indigo (2013) the idea of a four-hour movie with an animated intermission in the middle;
- during the shoot of Mood Indigo (2013), Gondry was taking pills to regulate his mood and his obsessive behavior, then stopped after editing began, and he blew up like in the movie. Soon after, he was diagnosed bipolar by a psychiatrist.
On top of this, the movie within the movie in The Book of Solutions (2023) is 50s-style movie with a mouse, like Mood Indigo (2013).

Featured review
Without laying up claims to be a breakthrough in Gondry's career, Le livre des solution is a sweet parody of himself and a beautiful thank you note to those faithful people working with him all along. With him, as well as other talented geniuses who lost their mind long ago but still continue working and even, miraculously enough, succeeding in bringing their eccentric and most daft ideas to reality. There is always a lot to mock in oneself, and Gondry very well knows what and how sometimes exaggerating to a jaw-dropping level but still managing to keep it sweet, light, funny and unpredictable.
