Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mood Indigo about? Toggle content

Mood Indigo is a 2013 French romantic fantasy film directed by Michel Gondry, based on the novel L'Écume des jours by Boris Vian. The film tells the story of Colin (Romain Duris), a wealthy and idealistic young man who falls in love with Chloé (Audrey Tautou), a beautiful woman who is diagnosed with a rare illness caused by a flower growing in her lungs. As Chloé's condition deteriorates, Colin must work in a series of absurd jobs to pay for her treatment, while their friends, including the talented Nicolas (Omar Sy) and Chick (Gad Elmaleh), struggle with their own relationships and personal demons. The film features a surreal and whimsical aesthetic, with vibrant colors and imaginative set design. The story is intertwined with the themes of love, illness, and the fragmentation of relationships, as well as a nod to the works of Jean-Paul Sartre. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its visual style and performances, while others found it overly sentimental or disjointed. Despite this, Mood Indigo has become a cult classic and remains a unique and memorable entry in the romantic fantasy genre.
