The Science of Sleep

Writer/director Michael Gondry's brainchild, "The Science of Sleep" (originally La Science des Reves) is a strong contender for one of the best movies I've ever seen. If you appreciated his direction in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," you'll find this movie is not only more openly disoriented, but it also embraces its derangement. Starring Gael Garcia Bernal (Y tu Mama Tambien, The Motorcycle Diaries), the pace and simplicity of this film are a perfect balance, and makes you very aware of the nonsense of dreams (and reality).

Without giving anything away, I highly recommend that you see this movie. And let me know what you think!
