SHREM'S LIST OBSESSION: Top 10 Best Music Videos directed by Michel Gondry

This list was inspired by Michel Gondry's magical "L'Écume Des Jours" which I was lucky to see last night during the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival and Metronomy's latest video which is the first music clip Monsieur Gondry directed in 3 years time. So apparently this ultra-talented French visionary directed 83 videos since 1988. Here's Metronomy's "Love Letters" followed by my personal selection of Top 10 Best Michel Gondry videos.

10 "Knives Out" - Radiohead (2001)
