Michael Gondry has directed a most extraordinary and unusual video -- unlike anything before it, either in music video or even experimental cinema. Like a mesmerizing M.C. Escher drawing, it simultaneously moves forwards and backwards, a complex and enthralling video that seems to defy logic yet also unravels a clever mystery story that will delight viewers again and again -- intricate details and strange symmetries reveal themselves in repeated viewings. Gondry has directed amazing videos for Bjork, Massive Attack, Black Crowes, Lenny Kravitz, Lucas, and the Cleo award-winning Rolling Stones' "Like A Rolling Stone." Gondry has declared "Sugar Water" to be "his best work yet."
