The Science of Sleep
I finally saw The Science of Sleep. I'm not sure why I never saw it in the theater... I heard it was wonderful, I loooove Gael Garcia Bernal and Michel Gondry is the best film maker ever...
But anyway I finally saw it. All I can say is WOW. I've always been profoundly affected by certain movies and books... where the writer or film maker can just get into your head and your feelings and your soul. It's been a long time since I've seen a movie that's made me feel that way. Probably since Eternal Sunshine.
I was really struck by the quality of the dream and imagination scenes. I think a lot of movies go over the top or just don't connect with the "reality" of dreams. Both Eternal Sunshine and Science of Sleep felt like they tapped into my dream "reality".
Maybe my dreams aren't like other people's. My dreams are awkward and weird and confusing. Even the few times I've been able to dream lucidly, they are like that. I've only had a few nightmares in my life. My "nightmares" are more disconnected, twisting, turning, confused, rooted in reality, but no grip on reality kind of affairs. Just like Stephane's. Except I don't have felt horses in my dreams.
