Ecrit par AlloCine le 12/02/2006 - 22h34 - Catégorie : Berlinale 2006 A la Berlinale, les salles de cinéma ne sont pas toutes concentrées dans un seul quartier. La capitale allemande étant huit fois plus étendue que Paris, et le U-Bahn (comprenez "métro" ) se faisant parfois attendre (surtout le week-end....), le festivalier doit souvent se livrer à une course échevelée pour arriver à l'heure à une projection. Il se peut néanmoins que, malgré tous ses efforts, il soit obligé de s'asseoir dans les tout premiers rangs, le nez collé à un écran gigantesque. Remarquez, cette expérience peut se réveler assez agréable, et même carrément troublante, lorsqu'on se retrouve ainsi plongé, tel un poisson à l'intérieur d'un bocal, dans l'univers délirant de Michel Gondry. Présenté en Sélection officielle, hors compétition, The Science of sleep est une nouvelle preuve de l'imagination (le terme allemand "Phantasie" conviendrait mieux) débordante de l'auteur de Human nature. Au passage, c'est le héros de ce film, Rhys Ifans, qui a eu l'idée du titre de ce nouvel opus. Aux côtés de Gael Garcia Bernal, qui s'amuse visiblement comme un petit fou dans son rôle de doux rêveur pas tout à fait fini, et de Charlotte Gainsbourg en voisine idéale (qui s'exprime ici dans un british english des plus exquis), signalons la présence au casting d'un Alain Chabat déchaîné et d'Aurélia Petit, comédienne qui officie également comme présentatrice du télé-achat grolandais... Ce n'est pas tout à fait un hasard si le cinéaste a fait appel à un ex-Nul et à une complice de Jules-Edouard Moustic : tous ceux-là ont en commun le goût de l'absurde, du bricolage, du grand n'importe quoi. Mais attention, nulle trace ici de l'"esprit Canal", et de la dérision systématique qu'il suppose (un poste de télévision est d'ailleurs jeté dans la Seine au cours du film...). Ce qui fait tout le prix de The Science of sleep, c'est justement son absence totale de cynisme. Gondry s'amuse avec l'outil-cinéma comme un enfant essaierait tous les jouets d'un grand magasin : avec curiosité, appétit, et tant pis si on ne respecte pas les bonnes manières et les modes d'emploi. Pour parler de ce film impossible à raconter, on est alors tenté de se prendre pour Monsieur Loyal : "Approchez Mesdames et Messieurs... Le spectacle va commencer : vous assisterez à une course-poursuite entre des voitures en carton et découvrirez une machine à remonter le temps portative !" Autant dire que les fans des clips réalisés par Gondry, comme Army of me, dans lequel Bjork affronte un gorille dentiste, seront comblés. Une expression, généralement employée pour désigner Hollywood, pourrait finalement résumer ce film bigrement inventif : l'usine à rêves. JD SUNDANCE | Michel Gondry & Gael Garcia Bernal's The Science of Sound Product Shop NYC's Halified is covering the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. He has been super busy since last Wednesday when he arrived in Utah, but he has sent us a quick little update after seeing the world premiere of Michel Gondry's The Science of Sleep. Here's what Halified has to say: Do you remember how you felt when the credits rolled the first time you saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? If it was anything similar to what I felt, you were left shaking and speachless with how original and brilliant the film was. I didn't want to leave the theater. I remember feeling elated because i couldn't remember a film before it that had filled me with so many emotions and said so much about my life. I know i'm rambling, but the point is if you can relate at all to what im saying then get ready to be completely blown away by Michel Gondry's follow up film The Science of Sleep. I was one of the lucky few that was able to secure a ticket to the premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, I can tell you that, without a doubt, it is a far better film than Eternnal Sunshine. You can tell, the film is 100% Gondry. Take Eternal Sunshine and add the video for Bjork's "Army of Me" and you get The Science of Sleep. Gael Garcia Bernal is beyond words and Charlotte Gainsbourg is also perfection. If you walk out of this movie and you don't have a crush on Charlotte or Gael or both, then I don't understand you. My friend who saw the film with me said it best when he said "This is the kind of film that if a person didn't like it, I seriously don't think I could be friends with them." I don't want to say anything else about this film and I urge you to not watch any previews when they start airing. Go into this film fresh and be prepared to have your mind (and your heart) completely blown away. Thanks Halified! That's some pretty detailed information you've gotten us. You can read a more descriptive review at Variety. Post premiere, the movie sold instantly to Warner Independent for a reported $6,000,000!!! While no firm release date has been set, an October release is expected....... Big 'Sleep' for WIP: $6 mil buy By Anne Thompson and Gregg Goldstein PARK CITY -- Warner Independent Pictures jumped into the big-buy arena Monday at Sundance with the $6 million acquisition of all North American and U.K. rights to writer-director Michel Gondry's "The Science of Sleep." WIP moved swiftly to buy the visually dazzling fantasy starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Charlotte Gainsbourg right after its 9:30 p.m. screening Sunday and closed the deal with Gaumont and Partizan Films at 3 a.m. Monday. " There were six of us who saw it," WIP president Mark Gill said. "We never agree on anything, but we all loved this film. It's breathtakingly original." " Science of Sleep" is produced by Georges Bermann and Frederic Junqua and marks WIP's first Gaumont film. WIP plans to release the film in the second half of the year. According to sources, Paramount's specialty division, Fox Searchlight, Picturehouse and Focus Features -- which released Gondry's "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and will distribute Gondry's production of "Dave Chappelle's Block Party" in March -- all were circling the movie, but Gaumont made it clear that it was seeking a big-cash sale. Other companies who hadn't seen the film also were interested, but sources close to the production said that WIP was so aggressive in the dealmaking that the others weren't seriously considered. Gill gave the filmmakers some boxoffice bumps, he said. Several distributors questioned the lofty $6 million price tag for what many considered to be an art film. The film uses various languages, which could jeopardize its foreign pay TV deals, though WIP is chasing a British Sky Broadcasting sale. The deal was negotiated by Gill and Paul Federbush, senior vp production and acquisitions at WIP; Loic Trocme, head of sales at Gaumont; Gondry's lawyer, Robert Offer of Sloane Offer Weber Dern; and Jamie Feldman from Lichter, Grossman, Nichols & Adler on behalf of Gaumont. UTA packaged the project and repped its sale with CAA. Also Monday, small distributor Arrival Pictures acquired domestic theatrical rights to Spectrum Sundance entry "La tragedia de Macario," one of several hard-hitting immigration dramas at this year's fest. Directed by 23-year-old rookie Pablo Veliz, who emigrated from Mexico to the U.S., the Spanish-language movie is planned for a late-spring release. Negotiations between Arrival Pictures president Charles Acosta and Strategic Film Partners principals Alex Barder and Lawrence Silverstein closed early Monday after the film's world premiere Friday. In other acquisitions activity, Ryan Fleck's addiction drama "Half Nelson," starring Ryan Gosling, and the puzzle docu "Wordplay" are expected to sell imminently. The Yari Group's "The Illusionist," starring Edward Norton, also played well Sunday night and is being screened "all over Hollywood," according to one distributor interested in the film, which the filmmakers would like to release wide. Sundance Movie Review: The Science of Sleep Being at Sundance is very exhausting. There're only so many days a body can survive on three hours of sleep. And being at a high altitude, running from venue to venue, meals are made of snacks and candy. So you start to crash. This is what happened to me in The Science of Sleep, the film I was most interested seeing out of the line-up this year at Sundance. Michel Gondry is a genius, you may remember him as the director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or of countless music videos. He's crazy enough to be innovative in a time when they're looking to sequels and formulas. And Sleep is everything you'd expect from Gondry. The film is really unexplainable;, it's a love story filled with these crazy/wacky animated dream sequences and a television show inside of the main character's head. It's not just different, but it's entertaining and interesting, touching and endearing. And I fell asleep three times. Not because the movie was boring or slow, I was loving every minute of it. It was the forementioned crash and burn. A ten o'clock movie is midnight in my home town, and I haven't yet adjusted. The funny part of it all is that when I slipped off to sleep I dreamt scenes that never happened in the movie. So the film I saw was much different from what was screened. In a way, it was a Michel Gondry film in itself. The film uses both English and French languages, with the French being subtitled. The cast was great, but full of mostly unknowns. The main star Gael Garcia Bernal, who was in The Motercycle Diaries and a couple of other indies. So I don't expect to see this film at the big multiplexes, but hope that it will find a cult audience on DVD.
