The Science of Sleep
La science des rêves (original title)
Everything in life is better without expectations it seems and movies are no exception. A french-italian production.
Plot:
Existensial detective that actually thinks he can share his upsidedown world view with someone who happens to be a woman.
Review:
A friend showed me this movie if I'm not mistaken and I was quite immeditately interested in what it had to say. What this review may consist of can truly only be viewed as some sort of guideline or arrow pointing towards this movie. I really dont feel this section is appropriate or relevant. However, Michel Gondry is the director and he has also made the movie Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. The most striking similarity is in the fact that Gondry seems to be the definition of a craftsman, he is skilled with practising a certain type of style and trade.
The Science of Sleep is about Stephane (Gael Garcia Bernal),who is being described as a creative and naive dreamer who moves from Mexico to his childhood home in Paris after his father's death. Wanting to express himself creatively in some way or another, he finds a job at a calendar company and believes it will serve him good. Good enough, anyway. Living across from Stephane is Stephanie (Charlotte Gainsbourg), an equally creative woman. ( Just got an image in my head where Peter Griffin in Family Guy would say they have the same name and then laugh in his manner in which he entertains me). They form a type of relationship which blossoms until the dream world of Stephane develops a liking for crashing in on Stephanes waking time.

Awesome - gotta go see this
I've seen this movie and I really liked it. Maybe it's a little weird and not everyone would enjoy it but it's a really charming and magical story. I think every artist, creative person or a dreamer will just love it:)
