"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.

Talk about a different love story!

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