Can a movie be too creative for its own good? This latest cinematic art project from director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) once again expands your definition of what a movie can be, but this time you’re left feeling exasperated rather than elated. The construction-paper plot follows a daydreaming artist (Gael Garcia Bernal) whose possible romance with a new neighbor (Charlotte Gainsbourg) becomes complicated when his very active dream life begins to seep into his real one. This is a burst of creativity that only an art student on copious caffeine – or something even stronger – could handle.
