| | Customer Reviews: Has to be seen to be believed (18 October 2008)I cant write a positive review of this film because I didnt think the characters where that interesting, there's little or no plot and its not compelling viewing in the least. However, I think it has to be seen to be believed because of its bewildering strangeness. The film begins with a scene of a man in what appears to be a studio telling you what are the ingredients of a dream, throughout the movie it cuts back to this scene and I think perhaps its meant to be his conscience, the point is its not clear at all. It could as easily be a dream state because frequently throughout the movie the central character and others cut back and forth between dreams and reality, some of the dreams are clever but eighties pop video or visually clever rather than cerebrally challenging clever. I found the cutting between three different languages (english, french, spanish) annoying and sudden sexualised comment strange too. Anyone who would rate this very highly should consider the story about the Emperors New Clothes, its worth a watch, perhaps even worth watching over again if you're interested in the odd, nonsensical or confusing but ultimately it could have been so much better. Recommended (07 September 2008)I really enjoyed this film. The whole film looks great. I love how they blend being awake with being asleep. Really good dialog, I thoroughly recommend seeing this film. Disappointing (27 April 2008)i bought this film on the strength of Eternal Sunshine but am left so disappointed - took three stabs to watch it in entirety. Best parts were the closing frames (as illustrated on the DVD sleeve) and closing soundtrack. A letdown. A Mess (13 March 2008)I loved Human Nature and Eternal Sunshine but since then it's been a rapid decline in my eyes, reaching new depths with Be Kind Rewind which was beyond awful...without a Kaufmann script Michel Gondry appears to be unable to fashion anything himself outside of music video slapstick. This is an irritatingly wacky idea that's been drawn out into a film - lame half-characters I didn't care about speaking banal dialog to each other. I went into the cinema with great enthusiasm but this was too much pop video, novel bits of papier-mache patchwork surrealism trying to paper over the cracks of an otherwise dull self-indulgent tale. Confusing at times, but beautiful to behold. (27 January 2008)I thought this movie was really beautiful. It was intensely creative and explored many ideas at once. The only quip i have with it is that i felt at times the line between shephane's dreams and real life was too blurred, and to that end its hard to make out a story line. As a matter of fact the whole experience of the film (id go so far as to call it an experience) was very much like a dream, in that thinking back on it now, i can only remember small details, little quirks and emotions and romances, and nothing much of what actually happened. I recommend you buy this film if you were a fan of 'eternal sunshine' or, in fact, if you are a fan of quirky french films or surrealism. I recommend too, that you watch it more than once. |
