'Las Vegas Love Stories': Gondry brothers push cinematic boundaries with eight-second love stories

Michel and Olivier Gondry's latest offering 'Las Vegas Love Stories' tells love stories in a series of eight-second-long micro films
UPDATED SEP 15, 2018

The official trailer for the film 'Las Vegas Love Stories' was released on Friday. Created by Academy Award winner Michel Gondry ('Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind') and Olivier Gondry, 'Las Vegas Love Stories' is a collection of six films that are 8.2 seconds in length, that are uniquely interconnected and push the boundaries of traditional filmmaking.

Shot in and around Park MGM Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, iconic directors Michel and Olivier Gondry put their signature storytelling style of playful surrealism against the test of time.

While 'Las Vegas Love Stories' depicts whimsical and surreal romance, the concept is rooted in the recent finding that the human attention span has hit an all-time low of 8.2 seconds. The directors, however, contend that eight seconds is long enough time to fall in love.
