I liked it a lot too... but it does stand to compare to Eternal Sunshine... both movies are sort of subconsious explorations of human relationships and both are directed by the same fellow.

ture ture..but Eternal is the work of a master script writer...so its a lot more cohesive (i know nobody would have said that about Eternal when it first came out)...Science is barely held together by the sticky tape they use for the projects in the film :)...very random and chaotic....

eternal sunshine was half gondry and half kaufman. after all, gondry worked on the story too, along with pierre bismuth. and none of that visual invention came from kaufman. but in terms of the script, that was pure kaufman, jah.
the science of sleep was surprisingly honest in terms of the main character's behaviour, which apparently put off a great deal of the critics. i found it refreshing as i could actually relate to a character in a modern movie, which i haven't really been able to do up until this point. and i do mean that i can relate to his more disagreeable traits, the type of erratic behaviour you'd never see in a movie that wants to be liked, which is just about every movie you can think of. i give it three thumbs up.

i felt exactly the same way about it. i identified with the main character so much, it almost scared me.
people keep talking about how ridiculous he was, how nothing he did made any sense, and i just keep thinking, "but i would have done the exact same thing..."
i think i made a thread about this when it came out, but meh, whatever.
