Which Is Hotter?

.
Today is the 54th birthday of the great Michel Gondry, the man most responsible for turning toilet paper tubes and chalk into unbridled romance - it's been two years since his last film, the seriously underrated coming-of-age buddy comedy Microbe & Gasoline came out -- as far as I know he hasn't announced what he's working on but I'd love for somebody to tell me otherwise. He did put out an adorable commercial for FedEx last month though:

Anyway Gondry gets a lifetime pass for me for whatever he does thanks to Eternal Sunshine but he has had an admittedly not-great few years, Microbe excepted - I downright hated The We and the I, his film set aboard a city bus full of grating characters, and reactions to projects like Mood Indigo and The Science of Sleep have been mixed. But it's those last two I want to laser in on, specifically their lovely male leads Gael Garcia Bernal (more here) and Romain Duris (more here)...
