Oscilloscope Pictures, a company co-founded by Beastie Boys member Adam “MCA” Yauch, will distribute director Michel Gondry’s documentary, “The Thorn in the Heart,” which premiered last week at Cannes Film Festival.
The documentary focuses on the “Green Hornet” and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” director’s own family members, following his aunt, schoolteacher Suzette Gondry, and her son. Over the course of the film, he delves into the family’s secrets and their life in rural France.
Suzette, Michel Gondry’s aunt, was a school teacher from 1952 to 1986 and she tells Michel how it was to be a teacher by then in a rural and isolated part of France. But little by little, Michel discovers some family stories he was totally unaware of and uses his camera to explore it in a subtle but very emotionnal way. [Cannes Film Festival]
