A film like no other, inventive director Michel Gondry (Eternal
Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) brings to life this quirky, quixotic,
constantly inventive romantic fantasy where imagination challenges
logic, and dreams defeat reality. Wake up and smell the possibilities.
Sent to Paris by his mother, with only the address of her friend to
help him with work, Stéphane (Gael García Bernal) ends up designing
calendars. White-collar worker by day, but genius by night—and any
other time—likeable, clever Stéphane dreams. Because it's on his magic
carpet of dreams where Stéphane headlines Stéphane TV, builds a mighty
cut-and-paste wonderland, pens a bestseller and sweeps the lovely girl
next door off her feet and into his arms. If only he could make his
dreams (and especially that last one) come true!
The Science of Sleep is a film to amaze, dare and delight you... and to whisper to the dreamer within.
