The Science Of Sleep

A film like no other, inventive director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) brings to life this quirky, quixotic, constantly inventive romantic fantasy where imagination challenges logic, and dreams defeat reality. Wake up and smell the possibilities.

Sent to Paris by his mother, with only the address of her friend to help him with work, Stéphane (Gael García Bernal) ends up designing calendars. White-collar worker by day, but genius by night—and any other time—likeable, clever Stéphane dreams. Because it's on his magic carpet of dreams where Stéphane headlines Stéphane TV, builds a mighty cut-and-paste wonderland, pens a bestseller and sweeps the lovely girl next door off her feet and into his arms. If only he could make his dreams (and especially that last one) come true!

The Science of Sleep is a film to amaze, dare and delight you… and to whisper to the dreamer within.

Critic Reviews:

• " Gondry always manages to maintain a childlike wonder in the magic of creating a moving image, and never is it more evident than in this film. " – Wendy Ide

• " In the moment, Gondry and Bernal almost manage to give quirky a good name. " – Dave Calhoun
