The Science of Sleep: a Review

Science, good. Sleep, VERY good. Review: AWESOME.

I knew about 'The Science of Sleep' back in 2006 when it was out but didn't have the chance to watch it till last night. In short, this movie is a WTF movie; everything about it is just WTF (in an awesome way).

First of all, this movie was written and directed by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.) 'The Science of Sleep' is a French movie that tells the love story of Stephane and Stephanie. The former is a man-child, sensitive, and just creative in his own bizzaro way. His dreams (literally) control his real life and his dreams are an exaggeration of his thought and sub-conscience.

The movie is a much scaled-down version of this Simpsons Episode:




The Science of Sleep is a feel good movie, with some subtle humor and a whole lot of preversion (which is normal in France.. ZING). I recommend this movie on a lazy weekday after a long day at work, university, school, fishing trip, or a fun day playing the Luge with Shewner and Froggy in speedos..
