What you may need to know:
1. It’s directed by Michel Gondry.
2. Gondry went Hollywood with The Green Hornet (2011). It didn’t work out so well. Now he’s gone back to his native France, and is getting his quirky on again. Big time.
3. It stars Audrey Tatou, doing her Ameile thing, and Roman Duris, from The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005), Heartbreaker (2010) and The Big Picture (2012).
4. That Lumineers track is everywhere these days.
5. The trailer is best described as Gondry-esque. This, we stress is a good thing.

Bad news for socialist Clare,
Coming home from a family affair,
Now she’s in hot water,
With whiskey. They caught her,
Out driving while the worse for wear.

“The evidence tells us that our frozen burger supplier, Silvercrest, used meat in our products that did not come from the list of approved suppliers we gave them.
Nor was the meat from the UK or Ireland, despite our instruction that only beef from the UK and Ireland should be used in our frozen beef burgers.
Consequently we have decided not to take products from that supplier in future.
We took that decision with regret but the breach of trust is simply too great.”
Tim Smith, Tesco Group Technical Director.
Over to you, Mr Goodman.

Luke was part of Ronnie Drew’s unfulfilled dream to bring ballet to the masses.
Good times.
