The Science of Sleep

Michael Gondry is not your usual director. If you’ve followed some of his stuff that goes from a long list of music videos to very successful motion pictures, I am sure you’ll agree with me.

The Science of Sleep is his latest movie, released recently in DVD. Actors are Gael Garcia Bernal and french lead actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, and a realy good cast of french actors, unknown to me.

Gael Garcia Bernal plays Stephane whose character mixes dreams and reality. He falls for his neighbor and the movie is about him dealing with rejection and getting his relationship to this woman on track.

If you know a bit about Michael Gondry, then you can imagine how interesting the dream sequences ought to be, and you won’t be dissapointed. The sequences are great!. It is incredible how such a complex set up of storyline and character can make so much sense. Any description I give you about a given part won’t make sense on its own but in the context is so meaningful.

Watch the trailer in youtube.
