science-of-sleep-posterWriter/director Michel Gondry‘s film is a wild ride through a uique and fascinating world.  The film exists in two worlds, reality and the dreams of the main character, and sometimes it’s hard to tell which is which.

Promised a creative job by his mother, Stephane (Gael Garcia Bernal) moves back home to the apartment house.  Once there he discovers two things.  The first is the job is nothing more than mindless office work.  The second happens when he meets a young woman who lives across the hall and discovers, to his amazement, he loves her.

Now things are going to get complicated, so stay with me.  Stephane meets his neighbor Stephanie (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and her friend Zoe (Emma de Caunes).

For no real reason the relationship begins in lies.  Stephane, more attracted to Zoe than Stephanie, says he lives across town, and the girls both lie about thier jobs.  Slowly he realizes that it is Stephanie who is the real prize.
