The Science of Sleep (DVD, 2007)

After a day it was later sent to me that this was then not available. I was pretty disappointed because it didn't say that when I was ordering.

It's hard to meet someone, and have a relationship with them, when you can't tell your waking life from your dreams. The movie jumps in and out of dreams so often, the audience is almost as confused as the characters in it, but the absurdity of the movie matches the absurdity of life pretty well, so it is worth watching.

I like Charlotte Gainsburough and Gael G. Benal, so that was a great start. I love all things French and Paris, but what I really liked was the extent of creative sets and story all trying to unwind the weirness of dreaming. Dreams are weird and jump in strange directions. Sleep and dreaming are such a luxury in life, that this is just a great slice of someone else's dream sequence. Because there is so much going on, you have to have some intelligence to understand the plot, and thus I could see how it could get a bad review. But don't believe it. This is a great film, and lots going on to entertain you. MR

Gael Garcia Bernal portrays a charming and quirky role as writer/director Michel Gondry's character of Stephan in his 2006 eccentric foreign film The Science of Sleep. The movie follows the conscious and subconscious of Stephan and his inability to serparate his vivid dreams from his imagination. It captures his move to his mothers apartment in France after the death of his father. As Stephan struggles with his French, his new life, he also struggles with separating the real from the unreal; and occasionally becomes hard for the audience to tell the difference too--but that all adds to the charm of the movie. The adorable underlining love story with the characters Stephan and Stephanie [played by Charlotte Gainsbourg] is too cute; having you root for Stephan the entire way through. The dream sequences are strange but alluring, and have you wondering what's going on in your cranium while you sleep also. All together an amazing movie, adorable and emotional, strange and quirky, loveable and charming.

awesome! the movie was great... i saw the movie in the movie theaters, after watching it in the theaters i knew that i wanted to own it. So i went online and bought it as soon as it came out
awesome!

A unique and beautiful movie. Wholly original. It is the real world of dreams. Captivating imagery. The extras are really cute. Some interesting insight into the unique masterpiece. Subtle, and brilliant.

if you liked Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, you'll love The Science of Sleep. not the greatest story, but the visuals are jaw-dropping and are a delicious two hour feast of eye candy.

This was an amazing deal! I can't believe I got so many DVDs for such a low price. The Science of Sleep caught my eye.

Special effects are poor in that movie but it is what makes it special. The actors are good and the story is confusing, but we get the point at the end. Great work. It makes you think about the world we live in.

This wasn't the worst movie of the year, it was the worst movie I've ever seen! It was stupid, boring, and unfit to watch. It appeared to be an un-rehearsed bad improve. I think the reviews are over-rated or written by movie affiliates

I bought The Science of Sleep dvd. It is one of my favorite movies. Came new, came in a good amount of time.

Follows the story of Stephan who returns to France to live near his estranged mother after his father dies in Mexico. Stephan inverts reality and dreams and the viewer is taken into the unconscious mind of a young man in love. Quirky and sweet. Very genuine. I saw this independent film on a plane and decided I had to buy it as soon as I got home. Gael Garcia Bernal is fabulous as always and Charlotte Gainsbourg is perfect for the role as Stephanie. Definitely worth it, if you like the eccentric romantic-comedies the French are so good at.

the delivery was fast there weren't any problems with payment. i was notified when it was shipped and it got here just in time.

When the innocence of a child crashes and meshes with unique art and adult concepts, you get Michel Gondry. His genius of capturing what we as humans really feel but are too embarrassed and afraid to reveal is more than perfect. Some call his films bizarre, but when you get right down to it, we are, especially our minds in the world of dreams. Cardboard fabrications and swirling paint is an understatement of what we really see, but it couldn't have been depicted more accurately. This movie reminds us what we are, and what we go through, and what we want. Love and happiness. But instead of sugarcoating that concept and making everything perfect, it shows us not all is easy, and not all works out, even in a land of cut out buildings and paper trees.
I love this movie. I love what it tells. We all need to be reminded to not let go of our imaginations and to also remember to tell ourselves not to let our minds take control of us (as was Stephans case in many situations).
This is one of the greatest movies I've seen. I would dare call it a masterpiece.

In my opinion, this was a pretty good movie.. very original. I like the fact that there are three languages thrown into the movie (Spanish, English, French w/ Closed Captions when needed) and that it is based in France. This is an artsy type movie with a European type feel. There are a few lines thrown into the movie that you initially want to write down to remember later. There is great animation along with pretty interesting dream sequences. I especially liked the 'little sausages' scene. Overall this is a movie I am glad I watched.
