IN BED WITH MICHEL GONDRY

Night falls on Los Angeles and Michel Gondry tosses and turns in his bed, unable to get to sleep. An insomniac for 50 years, the filmmaker has made his sleepless nights the ideal playground for his boundless creativity. Between dreams and nightmares, In Bed with Michel Gondry is an experience and a dream in which the intimate portrait of an extraordinary creator emerges.

Blending interviews and slightly disillusioned attempts to find sleep, the film is the story of a sleepless night filmed at the filmmaker's home in Los Angeles. A professional insomniac, the filmmaker has turned his conflicted relationship with the night into a creative outlet, and his dreams into a recurring theme, if not the key, of his work.
