Our take

Michel Gondry’s feature debut marks not only the arrival of an instantly recognizable voice, but also the start of his prolific collaboration with Charlie Kaufman. In this ambitious comedy, the two tackle themes as rich as philosophy and science with hilarious (and expectedly bizarre) results.
