His documentary and narrative works deeply examine music and instruments as central to human connection and existential meaning, particularly in 'Wings of Desire' and his music documentaries.

 Michel Gondry France

His imaginative visual storytelling frequently celebrates musical instruments and creativity as transformative forces, most notably in 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' and 'Be Kind Rewind.'
