La science des rêves (The science of sleep)

(2006)

I remember being disappointed in this when I first saw it, and I had the same reaction this time, though at its surreal best, it's as beautiful as a dream can be. As in The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Michel Gondry breaks our hearts, but here the payoff is more intellectual than emotional, and it just doesn't seem a fair trade.
