::ZOÉ'S PHONE NUMBER::

I just got back from seeing Gondry's The Science of Sleep (well, not just: we stopped by the Kettle Art opening to look at the photography of Summer Austin, whose $585 photos weren't aligned with our taste or our ha-ha-this-is-from-someone-with-our-names budget).

A frappé of cosmology, craft, neurology, whimsy, psychology, disaster, and serendipity, the film was a not-so-sheer delight; the waking/dreaming/sleeping trichotomy mirrors the trilinguality of the dialogue. Gael GarcĂ­a Bernal's Stéphane is probably the onscreen character in all the films in the world I'd most like to jump into the screen and hug. And of course, cellophane!

I saw thematic nods to Björk's "Bachelorette" video, when Stéphane's dream-friends propose that he publish a book from a letter he writes in one of his dreams, and then he conquers the world with a multimedia congolomerate... but he doesn't conquer his love interest's heart.

And then there was the IKEA box incorporated into his dreamtime-TV studio camera rigging. Awesome.

And giant hands!
