Michel Gondry - The Science of Sleep
Filed under Art, Entertainment, Thoughts, Video.
Michel Gondry is, as I would categorize Spike Jonze or Chris Cunningham, a very talented music video director that goes beyond that. He also directed films like Dave Chappelle’s Block Party, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep, which I got to see this weekend.
The Science of Sleep ( La Science des rêves) is a fantastic love tale about a guy named Stephane with a very vivid imagination who falls in love with a girl that doesn’t share the same feelings as he. And whilst he tries to win her over he lets his dreams take over his waking life where we see how much of an imagination he really has.
The movie has sort of the similar style, but I thought Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was more appealing. Nonetheless a very strong beautiful movie which I’ll be adding to my dvd collection soon. I gave it an 8 out of 10 in my sidebar section.
To get back to the man himself, if you want to see a collection of his music videos and shorts films check out The Work of Director Michel Gondry.
Also check his youtube profile where he solves a rubiks cube “with his feet” and a parody to the Will it blend? videos.
Update: This is a clip revealing how Michel faked the rubiks cube stunt, very inventive.
