Released in 2006, screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and director Michel Gondry takes audiences into a whimsical and creative world of dreams. The story focuses on the central character, Stephane, a insecure young man that has a elaborate imagination. The story begins when Stephane moves back home to France with his mother to work for a title agency. Stephane learns to deal the job his mother secured for him, but he has no input of creativity. In the midst of Stephane's crazy transition back to Paris, he meets his next door neighbor Stephanie. Stephane and Stephanie establish a connection with one another, based off both their creative minds.
Stephane's mom reveals a secret about his outward uniqueness. Since the age of 6, Stephane has inverted dreams and reality. This secret intrigues Stephanie to discover more hidden secrets behind the imagination of her counterpart Stephane.
This film kinda reminded me of Plato's Allegory of the Cave, because in some ways the plot presented the idea of dualistic views. Going back between the idea of what is real and what is reality.
