Review: The death of his father lands young, twenty-something Stephane Miroux (Gael Garcia Bernal, “Y Tu Mama Tambien”) back to live in his mother’s flat in Paris. An artist, he lands a very drab job as a calendar designer which forces his fertile, creative mind to seek other outlets. Soon Stephane’s dream world is alive with fantastically rich sets, made of cardboard, paint and cellophane props.

Director Michael Gondry creates a whimsical world in which Stephane is the star of his own dream TV show about his life. Dreams and reality sometimes collide as Stephane falls for his neighbor, the lovely Stephanie (Charlotte Gainsbourg), who eventually crosses the hall and into his private dream world.

Not for everyone, and, admittedly, a bit on the “artsy” side, I found Stephanes’ fantasy life delightful.
