Be Kind Rewind. 2008. Dir. Michel Gondry

Jack Black stars in Be Kind Rewind, a one-of-a-kind comedy from the mind of writer/director Michel Gondry (Dave Chappelle's Block Party, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). Black stars as a loveable loser stuck in a life that's too small for his big dreams. But when he unintentionally erases all the tapes in a video store where his best friend works, he devises a plan to satisfy the store's few loyal customers by re-creating and re-filming every movie they decide to rent. Be Kind Rewind features a cast that includes Mos Def, Danny Glover, and Mia Farrow.
Michel Gondry's latest film Be Kind Rewind gets released this Friday, Feb. 22. This version of the trailer takes on the same "swede"ing techniques found in the film. Gondry finds himself destroying the original trailer while projecting it. He then recreates it by filming himself as all the characters and then using lo-fi tricks to remake the rest. Brillant!
