Last night my wife and I saw the movie "The Science of Sleep." (Really cool website.) I really enjoyed seeing this film as it caused you to feel disjointed from reality (like the main character), but there was also a playfulness about the movie that tugged at my heart. The film reminded me of my youth and of the creative urges you have in growing up, trying to play, grow up, and have fun in a truly large world.
I don't like to really tell people what movies are about because if you do that, what's the point? Isn't it much more interesting to just learn that the film is worth seeing and that you need to have an open mind? I am remember much about the movie today and I am laughing inside at playing out certain scenes in my mind. The props used in the movie and the handmade animals and toys are just overwhelmingly beautiful. There isn't anything about this movie that I didn't like. Surprise yourself with a fresh movie of strangeness and intimacy--go check this film out. Directed by Michel Gondry (who also directed "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"), be prepared to enter a dreamworld like no other. Kick back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
