Wildly creative film director Michel Gondry unveils the delightful oddity of his inner selfin his latest movie, 'The Science of Sleep'

To filmmaker Michel Gondry, dreams and memories matter more than facts, politics and the innumerable realities that make up daily life. His third feature film, "The Science of Sleep," proves as much -- it is almost autobiographical.

In the film, he boldly parades before the audience all the things that are dear or fearful to him, against the backdrop of his own particularly quirky inner landscape. "I am not a political man by nature," Gondry said during an interview in Tokyo while in Japan for the French Film Festival in March. "But I think I became even less political with this film. It is, after all, practically a story about my interior life."
