Review of The Science of Sleep (2006) by Adam P — 21 Nov 2009
Michel Gondry is at it again, combining tactile art with cinema. In fact, that is a major component of this film's theme and it's characters. Gael Garcia Bernal is perhaps the most edible figure of current international cinema.
Even when he is behaving like an aberrant douche, one can't help but want to devour the little imp. Comparisons to Eternal Sunshine are unavoidable, but I think that Sunshine is a stronger film. The surrealism of that film served a more solid narrative purpose, whereas the dream sequences in this film are merely that.
