Elizabethtown is probably one of my favourite films. Now it's not one known for it's popularity and a few people I know didn't like it, but I do. It's not one of those films that is action-packed with lots of things happening all at once. It is simple, basic but refreshing. The two main characters have lost some of their hope in their lives. The guy has failed and the girl feels a bit lost, though she is suprisingly optimistic in the strangest of situations. Of course, it has the usually cliches of most romantic comedies, but there's something about it that makes me want to watch it over and over. It's one of those films that needs to be watched when you're by yourself, it doesn't seem like a good 'group' film. I suppose I should comment on the fashion (as this is the point of this blog) and I'd say that the fashion was basic but alternative. Kirsten Dunst (the female lead) is very bohemian in this film, so the combination of cardigans, floral skirts and an orange bag seem to be the theme and the black and white dress she wears is amazing (I want one!). But it works really well. Susan Sarandon's suit that she wears to the memorial with the ribbon ties on the sleeves adds a different and rather cute touch to a serious garment that doesn't usually contain much embellishment. Generally this film is not necessarily covering new ground, but with the Temptation's 'Can't get next to you' (one of my favourite songs) on the soundtrack, how could I not love this film?!
