Science of Sleep

Saw the Science of Sleep yesterday... it's a very bizarre movie. Gael García Bernal's perfect sense of comic timing made it quirky & amusing instead of just weird. It still didn't make much sense, but at least it was funny. Basically Bernal plays this strange man-boy Stéphane, an artist who is always confusing dreams & reality. He ends up living in his mother's building, falling for his neighbor Stephanie's friend, then switching to Stephanie. He tries to win her heart in various ways while also trying to keep his job. This is difficult because he misses work a lot as he dreams intensely of her. There are lots of confusing scenes, but it's a fun movie if you're in a good mood.
