Originally known for commercial and music videos, Michel Gondry directed ‘Drugstore’ for Levi’s, one of the most awarded commercial of all time. His music video for Björk, ‘Human Behaviour’, won practically every existing music video award. He has collaborated with Daft Punk, The White Stripes, The Rolling Stones, Chemical Brothers, Kanye West, Paul McCartney, and so many more. Michel Gondry has directed deeply personal movies including ‘The Science of Sleep’, as well as a love letter to filmmaking: ‘Be Kind, Rewind’. With recent French productions ‘Moon Indigo’ and ‘Microbe & Gasoline’, Michel Gondry continues to fascinate audiences with his unique craft.
The Science of Sleep
Stéphane entranced by his dreams and imagination is love-struck with a French woman and feels he can show her his world.
Stéphane, a talented young artist from Mexico returns to his French mother in Paris and begins to fall in love with his neighbour, but the course of true love does never run smooth. As the story unfolds the film illustrates beautifully the workings of his fertile imagination in a manner which would do credit to Terry Gilliam but also owes something to the ‘The Magic Roundabout’. The plot line may perhaps lead to a romance but it’s the surreal view of the inside of the hero’s head which arrests one’s attention and makes this a memorable film.
