'The Science of Sleep', a movie by Michel Gondry, of the music videos and 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' fame, is set for a theatrical release in US this August.
The plot revolves around the shy and insecure Stephane (Gael Garcia Bernal) an artist who lives in Paris. When Stephanie (Charlotte Gainsbourg) moves in next door, Stephane develops feelings of affection for the girl. Struggling to control his emotions in real life, he escapes into a dream world during his sleep. With a little time and some practice, he begins to learn how to manipulate the events within his dreams, but simultaneously becomes trapped inside his fantasy world by the characters he creates.
The film moves between dreams and waking life, with each one spilling into the other. This film has most critics raving and mixed reactions from viewers. One of those you need to see for yourself and decide.
