"In dreams, emotions are overwhelming." "Randomness is very difficult to achieve." "I like your boobs. They're very friendly and unpretentious."

I saw this in an old schoolhouse that was renovated into an indie movie theater. We sat at uncomfortable wooden desks and ate popcorn. It was fall out. I'm saying this because I can't seem to find that place in New Hampshire anymore. It's like it never existed. So maybe by writing it down, I can make it more real. Ironic that the lone movie I saw here was Science of Sleep, no? If you appreciate the works of art that Michel Gondry creates through film as his medium, it's hard to not also fall in love with this story as well. It's quirky and it's heartbreaking and it's frustrating and it's all very (sur)real.

"Screwdrivers, rubber bands, glue guns and pliers, tools to create or destroy/Patiently waiting, un-calculating/Golden the pony boy..."

Simply put, one of the most innovative and captivating films I've ever seen. The characters are much more dimensional than in mainstream studio flicks: underdogs, oddballs, pyschopaths, ordinary folks and everyone in between - just like real people you might already know. The performances hit all the right notes. From opening sequence to the perfect ending, the pride in craftmanship is impressive. Kudos to everyone involved in making this masterpiece. (By the way, I also highly recommend the soundtrack for this film. Though it's quite delightful, you'll have to go elsewhere for two tracks which featured prominently in trailers: "Your Heart is an Empty Room" by Death Cab for Cutie and "Fear of Sleep" by the Strokes. Would've liked if these came with..) Rest assured, you won't have trouble staying awake to really get into this marvellous dream of sleep.
