The Science of Sleep


Well. This was the strangest movie I had seen in a while. Stephane was really annoying though and needed to stop crying and grow a pair.

There's Gael Garcia Bernal as Stephane, Charlotte Gainsbourg as Stephanie, and some other people. I heard an album by Charlotte Gainsbourg a while back and I was surprised to see she's an actress as well. I also read somewhere that she got in a really bad skiing accident and hit her head and had to have brain surgery or something...crazy, I know!

Stephane moves back to France after his father passes away because his mother has a job set up for him there. He moves into an apartment (unknowingly) next to Stephanie and he meets her by helping her movers bring a piano up to her apartment. Some weird things go on and Stephane ends up liking Stephanie (cute...matching names) and for some odd reason Stephane's boss tells Stephane to pretend he's not Stephanie's neighbor. So that just screws up everything because poor Stephane is already emotionally unstable and cries at everything AND mixes reality with his dreams. oy. This guy needs some structure in his life! After Stephanie jerks him around a while, he cries some more and then all is well. Stephane and Stephanie ride off into the sunset on a blue felted horse with yarn hair and they live happily ever after. The End!
