The Science of Sleep
The title sounds like a PBS documentary studying sleeping disorders, but it is not. It’s a low budget “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” meets “Pee Wee’s Playhouse”. Bizarre would be a good description for this French film, sometimes subtitled, but mostly spoken in English. Much of the film consists of dream sequences existing in the mind of a peculiar man who is attracted to his next door neighbor. These fantasy moments rely heavily on creative, but very crude, non-CGI animations. It’s supposed to be a comedy, but maybe Alien doesn’t understand the French sense of humor. It could be creative art for the pretentious emperors with their new clothes.
Alien gives it 1 ½ “diastology calendar” stars out of 4.
