Marc, a bipolar and paranoid filmmaker, cannot tolerate seeing his current project picked apart by his producers. The clips he’s been able to sneak a look at lead him to fear the worst. With his editor as an accomplice, he manages to spirit away the rushes to his aunt’s place in the Cévennes, to finish the film as he envisions it. Instead, its completion is constantly postponed, as he creates endless diversions and impasses, which alternate between the comic and the downright disturbing. A semi-autobiographical comedy about a filmmaker struggling to complete his new film, The Book of Solutions debuted at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, eight years after Gondry’s previous film. With César Award-winning actor Pierre Niney channelling Gondry’s imaginative, innovative and anxious energy into the role of Marc, the director of a tumultuous film production, The Book of Solutions provides a tantalising insight into why Gondry took so long to make his next film.”
