wait, so, science of sleep?

How the hell am I the first person to have seen it?
I caught it at a film festival a couple of months ago. All I can say is it is AMAZING!
Actually no, that's not all I can say. It's a really cute kind of weirdo comedy, quite in the same vein as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The plot basically revolves around the relationship of Stéphane (played by hottie Gael Garcia Bernal) and Stéphanie (the luscious Charlotte Gainsbourg) as Stéphan struggles with depression and working an unstimulating job. Stéphane starts to blur the lines between being asleep and awake, and the visual effects in the dream sequences are really something -- wonderfully quirky stop motion animation.
Everybody should go see this film I think. The animated bits are worth it alone, but the story is actually rather touching as well.

If you're keen on knowing the ending, I can backchannel it to you.
I'm a lurker on this forum, but I thought I'd just pop in to comment on here, since I seem to be the only person on earth who did not love this movie.
It's a terribly uncomfortable movie. Whole sections are truly hard to watch. I won't spoil it, but there is a particular scene where the lead character is getting drunk at a bar. It was almost impossible to even sit in my chair, it was almost like having a panic attack. In fact during that scene, my friend actually turned to me and said, "Dude, are you going to be OK?" That appears to just by my reaction though. No one else was as uncomfortable by this movie as I was. (Note: this isn't a problem between me and weird movies either. I love Donnie Darko and blue velvet to death)
I can see what the director was trying to do in the movie, but it just didn't seem to work. I think he was trying too hard and whole portions of it are borderline disturbing as a result.
Gryff:
Disturbing? What do you mean exactly?
I can't remember being disturbed by anything...

Maybe I'm outside of the Norm, but I think portions of the movie are. The Old man near the end and The Bar Scene stand out in my memory.
