A Spotless Film

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2016)

By now, Michel Gondry has managed to establish a sub-genre of fantasy films with his use of practical effects. Watching a Gondry movie almost always means that you're going to be transported in a child's fantasy. It tries to detach itself from reality and makes the most out of the medium.
But his practical production approach doesn't always guarantee a success. Be Kind Rewind, for example. So what is it that makes Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind a great film? Charlie Kaufman. Bless the soul of the academy members who voted for him. Remember also that Kaufman's well crafted screenplay won't be such a help if the casting of the film sucked. So props to the casting department as well for getting the perfect actors.
This movie is very balanced. It's light and deep, funny and dramatic. It's just simply both entertaining and inspiring. And it's definitely a classic.
