Gondry turns the audience into children again, as they giddily await each brilliant novelty.Comedic foil Black makes for a great pied piper. He brings a manic, absurd energy to his character that doesn’t ask viewers to suspend their disbelief so much as thrash them into submission.

Minutes later, ambulances and police rushed into the street to find three blood-soaked people crying for help and the remains of a crude plastic explosives device. One of the injured died on the way to hospital. "Being in Mexico, I first thought it was an earthquake or something," Kohl said, visibly shaken from the blast. "I had no idea that bombs went...
