The Science of Sleep

Went to see Michel Gondry's The Science of Sleep last night and felt like it's the best piece of alternative cinema we've had in a while. Gael Garcia Bernal is perfectly cast as a young man living more in his dreamworld than in the day to day moments of his regular life. The film uses many of Gondry's tricks which after viewing his music videos in the
Director Series Dvd made it easy for me to spot how he was doing such cool things on screen. It's a visual treat and the story , that is at times funny, and sweet, ends by making you wonder just how much good you should feel, and how long can you stay asleep.
