Microbe & Gasoline (2015)Written and Directed by Michel Gondry
Michel Gondry follows his wonderful Mood Indigo with another simpler, but equally fine movie.
Here we have two French school boys both discontented with school and home life. One is from a poorer and rougher home than the other. They become friends and build an elaborate go-cart out of junk scraps.
It’s the type of thing one would only find in old Our Gang/Little Rascal comedies from the 1920s-30s, or a Michel Gondry creation. This is of course one of the elements that make a Michel Gondry movie so very special and endearing, the homemade props, DIY feel and political outlook, and his inventive visuals as he has displayed in many movies by now.
Microbe & Gasoline is more than just the prop car movie.
It is a very sweet and believable story of these two boys and their little summer getaway. And the French countryside is beautiful.
With Ange Dargent & Théophile Baquet bringing life to the leading roles, it’s just a great little movie.
