Full Plot Details

Following the death of his father from cancer, Stéphane - Mexican on his father's side, French on his mother's side - agrees, despite his less than proficient use of the French language, on his mother's request to move back to France from Mexico, she not only letting him live in her apartment in his old bedroom in the building she owns while she stays with her current boyfriend Gérard, a magician, but she having found him a job using his graphic art skills at a calendar shop. The job ends up not being quite as she had made it out to be - it more a dead end menial job - but Stéphane is still able to eke out a friendship of sorts with his new coworkers, especially Guy, the senior employee, a bully of a man-child who obsesses about sex and who becomes Stéphane's confidante. Concurrently, Stéphane strikes a friendship with his neighbor, Stéphanie, and her friend, Zoé, Stéphane and their friendship stemming out of some mistruths, including the two artistically inclined women not divulging they, like him, lead dead end nine-to-five jobs, and Stéphane also not divulging that he is actually Stéphanie's neighbor and the son of her landlady which allows him to spy on Stéphanie's apartment without notice. While Stéphane is romantically interested in Zoé, he believes Stéphanie in turn is interested in him. Regardless, Stéphane forms a special bond with Stéphanie, their similar names only one of the many factors which may indicate that the cosmos meant for them to have this bond. Despite what Stéphanie may feel for Stéphane in return, their friendship/relationship will be affected by Stéphane often not being able to differentiate between reality and what are, to him, his very vivid dreams.

Movie Reviews

Blunt Review - 10/10 by Emily BluntMichel Gondry is to visual art as Van Gogh is to post-impressionism; vivid bold and fearless, the seam of reality is present but you're never quite sure where they will lead your emotions, while taking an established artform to a different level.
ViewLondon - 10/10 by Matthew TurnerBeautifully directed, charmingly surreal and genuinely romantic, this is the perfect offbeat date movie and easily one of the best films of the year.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeThe most strikingly original film to hit movie screens this year -- or practically any other year for that matter.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 10/10 by Rob ThomasBoundless in its visual imagination but exacting in its emotional explorations, "Sleep" is one of the best and certainly most distinctive films of the year.
Arizona Daily Star - 10/10 by Phil VillarrealGondry's film certainly looks at life in a different way, and it refreshingly allows you to do the same, so long as you keep your eyes open.
Zertinet Movies - 10/10 by Steven SnyderThrough Gondry's eyes, the experience is not the story but the sensation of a dreamscape unlike any we have experienced before -- the place where fear walks hand-in-hand with hope, joy and imagination.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 10/10 by Jeffrey Chen[Its] surreal reach is unfettered, and as with Stephane's dreams it defies its own boundaries, mirroring a distressed human being's attempt to get a grip on wildly passionate emotions.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Uri LessingThe Science of Sleep is probably not a film for everyone, but in a perfect world where dreamers and artists were celebrated, it would be.
Salt Lake Tribune - 10/10 by Sean P. MeansThe eye is given plenty to enjoy, but the heart goes wanting.
Village Voice - 10/10 by Dennis LimThe hyperactive juvenile whimsy and the stoner dream theories are out of control -- and fascinatingly close to pathology.
