Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) - Michel Gondry

Didn't know what the fuss was about. It should be obvious to anyone with an iota of sense that if you keep erasing your memory, you will keep falling for the same psycho.

Coco Chanel (2008) - Christian Duguay

The kind of biopic that the Merchant-Ivory factory used to manufacture - lots of attention paid to getting the period details right, but delivering a mushy and predictable assembly-line product. Not my cup of tea, thanks.

The Closet (2001) - Francis Veber

A story with potential, some of the best contemporary French actors, some great punchlines, but finally a film that fails to deliver on its promises. Le dîner de cons is far better.
