The Science of Sleep

Director Michel Gondry returned to France to direct his own screenplay, a surreal and entrancing journey into the mind of young idealist Stephane (Gael Garcia Bernal), whose life is a super-charged kaleidoscope of dreams mixed with reality. Outlandish imagery and nutty non-sensical events come thick and fast as the shy Stephane attempts to woo his whimsical sculptor neighbour, Charlotte Gainsbourg. A triumph of the imagination, those who liked cine-magician Gondry's 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' will find this equally enchanting.
