The basis of the new major movie from Michel Gondry, starring Audrey Tautou, the beloved French modern classic hailed as "the most poignant love story of our time" by Raymond Queneau
The story is simple: Boy meets girl; boy marries girl; girl falls ill on their honeymoon with a water lily on the lung, which can only be treated by being surrounded by flowers; boy goes broke desperately trying to keep his true love alive.
First published in 1947, Mood Indigo perfectly captures the feverishly creative, melancholy romance of mid-century Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Recently voted number ten on Le Monde's list of the 100 Books of the Century (the top ten also included works by Camus, Proust, Kafka, Hemingway, and Steinbeck), Boris Vian's novel has been an icon of French literature for fifty years-the avant-garde, populist masterpiece by one of twentieth-century Paris's most intriguing cultural figures, a touchstone for generations of revolutionary young people, a jazz-fueled, science-fiction-infused, sexy, fantastical, nouveau-decadent tear-jerker that has charmed and beguiled hundreds of thousands of readers around the world. With the help of Michel Gondry and Audrey Tautou, it is set to seduce many, many more.

An Absurd Satire of Post War France
In a distorted, fantastical version of mid-20th century France, Colin lives his best life as a rich bohemian with no work. No bigger nuisance intrudes on his life than his friend Chick borrowing money to buy the books of famed intellectual Heartre. As Colin falls in love with beautiful Chloe his luck seems perfect. But things take a turn for the worse when Chloe falls ill with a water lilly growing in her lung. Colin is required to spend all of his saving on the only cure, freshly cut flowers. Soon he has to make dreadful considerations such as finding a job or selling his cocktail piano. Vian pokes fun at the European intellectual upperclass and their detached way of living in a story filled with surreal happenings and Wildean sharp dialogue.
