Eternal Sunshine is something I regarded highly after my first watch and had it top ten that year but rewatching it earlier this year I thought it was kind of meh. I think I need to go best two of three on it in case I was just in a foul mood.
I've seen
The Science of Sleep (my current fave Gondry),
Be Kind Rewind,
Block Party, and Gondry's music video DVD at least 4 times each. I'm really drawn to those, and I have no doubt that the appeal of easy viewing when it comes to
Rewind,
Party, and his music vids have a lot to do with it. To me,
Science is a small near-masterwork. Have seen
Eternal only twice with a couple of years gap in between viewings. Odd that I don't think of Gondry as one of my favorite filmmakers.
