As much as I love “Eternal Sunshine”, it seems like the more I watch “science of sleep”, the more I start to think this MIGHT be Michel Gondry’s best film so far. Even though the movie has a lot of fantasy and somewhat surreal moments, he still manages to hit the nail on the head when it comes to the awkwardness and embarrassing moments between two people who like each other (well, I think so). So it’s kinda like the best of both worlds. It shows a little bit of realism when it comes to male/female relationships, but it also has a fantasy angle to it. The supporting cast is great, especially the actor who plays “Guy”. I had never seen him in a movie before science of sleep, but he is one subtly funny mother fucker. There’s just so many little things he does in that movie that crack me up, that I think people miss. For example, pay attention to “guy” during the scene when it’s Stephan’s first day of work. Everything he does is hilarious. And speaking of the rest of the supporting cast, why do I have a crush on charlotte gainsbourg? There’s something about her swagger that makes her attractive. …I dunno. Plus, “science of sleep” doesn’t star Jim Carrey or Kirsten Dunst. This movie is the reason I was so disappointed in “be kind rewind”. It seemed like with each movie, Gondry was getting more and more mature, and then he goes and makes this corny, predictable movie. Sometimes, “be kind rewind” didn’t even seem like a Michel Gondry movie. I just hope the style in Gondry’s next movie leans more towards the style of eternal sunshine/science of sleep and less towards be kind rewind. And is it just me, or is it time for Gael Garcia Bernal (the main character) to show us something. I’m starting to think that he’s just been lucky with all of the movies he happens to be in (”tu mama tambien”, “bad education”, “motorcycle diaries”, “babel”, etc). I have yet to see him give a really memorable performance.
