4. Science of Sleep (2006)
The Cityscape Chase Scene: Michel Gondry is an artist. He's also a bloody good director and definitely has his own visual style which he usually turns into intricate but very watchable films. Science of Sleep really brings all of his inspirations together; French, Spanish, American, dreams, big hands, love, humour, heartbreak, music and of course stop-motion animation. It's a very different style to the rest of this list because it has a very Lo-Fi feel using cardboard, tissue paper and felt to fit with the story but this just makes it all the more endearing. I wanted to put any scene where he uses cling film as water because the effect is so beautiful or the galloping horse. It's difficult because the stop-motion is used throughout the film to enhance the dreamscape but re-watching it the cardboard city is definitely my highlight. It's incredible how much can be done with such basic tools and for that reason it's a real pinnacle of the genre.
