The French love Jazz. And they play it well.

French filmmaker Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Science of Sleep) surprised the crowd at his own premiere party on Sunday.  People had gathered to celebrate the premiere of his new film "Be Kind, Rewind," and were treated to a surprise performance by the film's director/screenwriter.

He was also accompanied by a fantastic French piano player (who’s name we failed to get). The two played several traditional jazz songs for the delighted onlookers.

There’s a big buzz about Mr. Gondry’s new film Be Kind, Rewind.  The film stars Jack Black and Mos Def as video store clerks who, through a freak accident, end up erasing their rental tapes. To make up for the lost movies, they recreate popular films like Ghostbusters, Driving Miss Daisy and Robocop themselves.

See Michel Gondry play the drums and more, in the popular HP Commercial.
