“Or, The Science of Sleep. A film that rates -very- high on the weirdness scale as it tells the story of a man that has trouble keeping reality and dreamworld apart. It starts when he moves back to France to live with his mother after his father passes away. The rest of his story is a fairly normal one, just the way it is played out is rather odd.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film had me watching it open mouthed for most of the time. From the very start of it to the very end. In fact, I might have had my mouth open from the moment it started – I didnu0026#39;t realize it until about halfway through. The astonishment and pleasure on my end started with the very first shots – the way things got depicted and worked out. A film that is as much a film as a true piece of art.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI can do nothing other than rating this one very highly. It is like a dream but also like reality and it explains its title and theme very clearly. Acting is good enough and the music choice is very fitting. All in all, very worthwhile material.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e9 out of 10 fuzzy dreams”
