‘Las Vegas Love Stories’ Trailer: New Michel Gondry Series Suggests It Only Takes 8.2 Seconds to Fall in Love — Watch
How long does it take to fall in love? To hear Michel Gondry tell it, just 8.2 seconds — which, as fate would have it, is also the length of each micro-movie in “Las Vegas Love Stories,” a new series the “Eternal Sunshine” director created along with his brother Olivier.
“8.2 seconds is the attention span of a new generation,” the elder Gondry claims in a statement accompanying the trailer for his latest oddball project. “This is the time to fall in love. This is the length of our movies. It’s a bold concept.” Watch that trailer below.
