The Science of Sleep (2006): Dreaming Wide Awake



What's It About
The Science of Sleep, originally known as La Science des Reves (2006), is probably the best work of Michel Gondry, the most imaginative director of our time. Stéphane Miroux, an young artist returned to France to get closer with his mother. His mother helped him to get a job in Paris. The job turned out to be boring and not least like what Stephane expected. He falls in love with his neighbor Stéphanie. But this love was never smooth. Stephane's frequent escape to a dreamworld starts to make his life and relationships complex to handle. The thin line between reality and dream became so blurred that at some points Stephane even could not differentiate between his dreamworld and real world.

What's Special
Probably, this is one of the most imaginative films I have watched so far. Michael Gondry did a great job in visualizing the dream sequences. Those dreams were funny, interesting and engaging. Garcia Bernal acted well as Stephane. If you want to watch a refreshing movie than you can go for it.
