Imaginative surrealism!

"You have a serious problem of distorting reality. You could sleep with the entire planet and still feel rejected."

The Science of Sleep is a wildly inventive and imaginative film from the same writer/director who also brought us Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Like most of Michael Gondry's movies it's an acquired taste. While the film was not warmly received by critics who c... read more

If you're not completely awake to watch this, make sure you're drowsy or drugged (it's a good thing).

Within the first two minutes, you'll realize that there's something unique going into your head. It blurs the lines between sleeping and waking, and you're drawn into Stephane's perception of reality.

The ending seemed a bit abrupt, but overall this was a good movie.

Description: Graham Greene, the English novelist once wrote of dreams: "It can be a comfort sometimes to know that there is a world which is purely one's own — the experience in that world of travel, danger, happiness, is shared with no one else." The young man in Michael Gondry's unusual French film regularly escapes into his own spec ... (more)

A good movie

“Ever since I watched and loved 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', I became instantly a fan of Michel Gondry and I was really eager to check what he would do next. His first follow-up was a decent documentary called 'Block Party' but I was eagerly waiting for his next fiction. To be honest, it wasn't really mind-blowing like I was hoping for but it was still a pretty solid flick. First of all, it was pretty neat that he shot the movie this time in France, his motherland,and there was a couple of familiar figures who you may have never heard of (Charlotte Gainsbourg, Alain Chabat, Miou-Miou, Emma de Caunes). As usual with Gondry, the whole thing was visually really appealing. Unfortunately the story was not really amazing in my opinion. I mean, like everything made by Michel Gondry, it” read more

"29.12 DVD Alun epähauskan hassuttelun ja guirky-menon jälkeen loppua kohden huomattavasti paranevaa Gondrya, jossa uni ja todellisuus menee lähes käsi kädessä ja oikeiden tehosteiden käyttö tietokonepaskan sijasta ilahduttaa silmää. Toimi myös eräänlaisena erilaisena rakkaustarinana, vaikka sellaista ei tässä oikeastaan edes kunnolla ole."

"Kirjasto-DVD Alkaa olla jo surrealismin riemuparaatin rumpujensoittokamaa. Leffassa menee jossain väliä täysin sekaisin, että onko koko teos lopulta pelkkää päivän tapahtumia peilaavaa unimaailmaa, vai leijaileeko Stephanin polla vain jossain joka ainoaan arkiseen tilanteeseen ulottuvassa mielikuvituksen pilvessä. Liki jokainen kohtaus tuntuu sisältävän vähintään yhden todellisen maailman tylsiä sääntöjä rikkovan piirteen, jos ei muuta niin edes aikakoneen tai itsestään ov"
