Hand-Made Art

This film, as is the case with all Gondry works to date, is absolute charm and artistic-one-of-a-kind-gorgeousness.

The Science of Sleep is the first film to creatively capture my own foolish, over-romanticized ideas of love and relationships. It is almost painfully relatable at times, and the strikingly realistic acting makes such moments of beautiful reality that much more embarrassing.

Having been a huge fan of Bernal & Gainsbourg already, my devotion was further solidified after seeing them act in such an artistic project.

But I felt the pacing was off and the film became stagnant and stale. I found myself caring less and less about the characters and more about checking my watch to see how much longer I had to sit through it.

Rock These Countries

In some ways, this movie hits too close to home. But in other ways it's just a good film with great actors, Charlotte Gainsbourg and G. G. Bernal (CUTE!). And while it feels sometimes that this is more of a music video than an actual movie, it is much better to have a Gondry movie than no Gondry movie at all.
