Jim: Thank You! Michel: CENTER!!

Rating: Null/10 (25 October 2004)

In (a bunch of minutes) less than two hours i could appreciate a film ignoring everything about it: usually radio and TV advertising tease you about the film and the director's career for weeks.. In this case it was a pleasure to discover only at the end that the man behind the camera is the genial, fresh and unique Michel Gondry: i must admit that every time i saw a Gondry's video, from a Kylie Minogue's "Come into my world" or a Rolling Stone's "Rolling Stone" or a White Stripe's "Fell in love with a girl", i felt "well, this man is a fantastic child!!". He plays equally with logic and technologies. And this "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is even better: it gains the completeness of a full-length film. A film that is a closed and perfect circle built upon a simple plot about memory erased. Light years distant from the un-closed and un-satisfactory "Memento", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is a surprising oniric flight with a beginning and a end. ..How easy it is to tell to a stranger what we think of our partner and we never say.. So just a big Thank You to Jim Carrey for the vulnerability and Compliments to Michel Gondry: you made a perfect, yet conversed reversed diverse perverse and funny, circle!
