The Science of Sleep
Dir: Michel Gondry
France/Italy, 2006, English/French/Spanish, 105mins, 35mm
Cast: Gael García Bernal, Charlotte Gainsbourg
Following his Oscar win with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Gondry returned to France to write and direct one of his most memorable films showcasing his whimsical, childlike sensibility and inventively low-fi, DIY aesthetic. After his father’s death, Stéphane moves into his childhood home and begins working at a wacky calendar publishing, while falling in love with his neighbor Stéphanie. An oddball inventor, Stéphane shares his many gadgets with Stéphanie even as dreams intrude upon reality and he begins having trouble telling them apart from waking life. Gondry’s romance develops in unexpected ways, humourous and poignant in equal measure.
