Ever since I saw the trailer I've been awaiting Michel Gondry's new film The Science Of Sleep with fist-clenching anticipation. Will it be another sentimental Amelie or will Gondry bring to the silver screen the magic he's previously created in Bjork's music videos? Gael Garcia Bernal plays Stephane, a worker at a calendar factory and vivid daydreamer. He comes up with the wacky idea to create a calendar of disasters - one for each month. Gondry called on his Nanny's brother, Baptiste Ibar, to create these "disastrology" paintings. So when you've overloaded on Bernal's cute face you can puruse Ibar's gallery, like the earthquake painting (above). Look familiar? Limited release start its run Sep. 22.
