Stunning movie.

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2007)

If I was being honest, I was never really that excited when I heard about Eternal Sunshine. Can you blame for it had Kate Winslet within it who I considered to be overrated, and Jim Carey who was playing a character exactly the opposite of his usual characters. So thank god when I saw if a shop for only £3.99, I brought it.
Immediately when I started watching the film, it washed over me. Kate Winslets performance was mind boggling as Clemantine, and Jim Carey fitted in well a the shy Joel. Not to mention some excellent performances from Kirsten Dunst and Elijah Wood.
But I don't think that all the credit should go to the actors, as it is the script, perfectly written bu Charlie Kaufmann and the great directional sense of Michel Gondry that made this film one of the best i have ever seen. What I like about Eternal Sunshine, is that all the shots are tricks of the camera, and not mindless blue screen. Forced Perspective was used often here. It feels like a piece of art rather than a mindless special effects blockbuster.
I did have to watch the movie twice to understand it completely. Just part of the brilliance of Kaufmann's script. If your considering watching this movie, then I'm telling you its far better than it sounds. Joel and Clemantine make a much better movie couple then Rose and Jack Dawson.
