The Science of Sleep

Before watching the film i already prepared myself for a "Gondryesque" kind of film; kinda wierd, surreal, with a touch of humor and animation. And I must admit, my mind was already set to love the film because, yeah Michel Gondry is a genius, i admire him and so this film of his would obviously be one hell of a good film. And it starts Gael Garcia Bernal (Crash, Motorcycle diaries) the mexican actor who everyone has nothing bad to say against him. Just a plain great actor. Ok let's start talking about the film. What I really like about Gondry's films is that he never hesitated on pushing the limits on creating the imagery of the message...for example there's some scene in the film when STEPHANE is frustrated with his work, and the scene portrays something that STEPHANE is thinking at the moment about his job. The scene shows STEPHAN is worshiped and obeyed by his co-workers, everything he say to them is the right thing...even his boss obeys to him...but only in his head....Watching the film along the way gave me the idea about Gondry's personal touch with the main character (STEPHANE) especially when I watched another favorite film of mine that Gondry made (ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND) again another neurotic mind twisting movie. The character's traits are somehow common and are so Michel Gondry. Like Gondry, STephane also invents all sort of wierd things and draws strange things. Well all I can say is another Gondry film = another ride to your brain neurons.
