Title: The We and the I Director: Michel Gondry Starring: Michael Brodie, Teresa Lynn, Raymond Delgado, Jonathan Ortiz, Jonathan Worrell, Alex Barrios, Laidychen Carrasco, Jacobchen Carrasco, Meghan Murphy, Raymond Rios, Mia Lobo Filmmaker Michel Gondry has always been a visionary of visual style, dating back to his groundbreaking work in the music video format. Less noted is his soft spot for underclass underdogs and those existing on the margins of society, as found in his features like “Be Kind Rewind” and “The Science of Sleep.” That predilection gets a more direct exercising in what may be Gondry’s most narratively straightforward and direct movie yet, which charts a city bus ride home [ Read More ]

Michel Gondry's signature playfulness keeps an otherwise stifling schoolbus journey through the Bronx entertaining
The backseat is the throne of the schoolbus, where bullies and the popular preside over the meek – or at least anyone who dares sport the wrong attitude, hair, or mobile phone. This social staple is the subject of The We and the I, Michel Gondry's polemic against the wisdom of the herd, which opened the director's fortnight at the Cannes film festival.
The plot – loose as it is – follows Teresa (Teresa L Rivera), who climbs aboard a bus taking a winding route through the Bronx to be reinitiated into her pack after a mysterious three-month absence. There's a semi-boyfriend to placate, his braggish mates to stand down. She's lost her place on the backseat and it must be won back. Further down the bus, micro-dramas play themselves out in rounds of bitching and back-stabbing.
