: The Science of Sleep
Normally I like this sort of weird stuff and I’d wanted to see this before it vanished from theatres, but for some reason I just couldn’t get into this at all. Utter disinterest. I’m not even sure what it was about. Something about a young Mexican artist moving to Paris after his father died, him struggling with a relationship with a woman, mixed in with lots of bizarre animation and weirdness and periodic television broadcasts from the dream center of his head. It’s got some interesting visuals — some of the funky hand-made animation is cool (like stop-motion cellophane used for flowing water) and I liked the multi-language approach, the way the film would randomly switch between English and French and Spanish — but everything’s so disjointed and illogical, like a dream, that the film cannot hold interest. It’s just like hearing someone else tell you, in vague terms, about their dream. Who cares?
