The distribution rights for director [Michel Gondry's](http://www.director-file.com/gondry/?ref=protein.xyz) third feature, the [Science of Sleep](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0354899/?ref=protein.xyz), have been bought for a whopping $6 million, the second highest sum paid of all the films shown at this year's [Sundance Film festival](http://festival.sundance.org/2006/?ref=protein.xyz). The film, which is Gondry's third after Human Nature and Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, sold within minutes of screening. The $6 million figure paid by a division of Warner Bros only included rights to distribution in the UK, US and Canada however, rather than the worldwide rights which a reported $10 million secured for Fox Searchlight for Little Miss Sunshine. The Science of Sleep was produced by Partizan chairman and executive producer Georges Bermann. The film tells the story of an insecure but highly imaginative young man, Stephane, played by Gael Garcia Bernal, who moves to Paris and falls in love with neighbour Stephanie, played by Charlotte Gainsbourg. So far so simple, but this being Gondry the film blurs the boundaries between dreams and the waking world as Stephane's mind threatens to distorts the reality around him. Science Of Sleep is due to be released in November in the UK. \[Shots\]
