Most of HUMAN NATURE is dedicated to the personal dramas of LILA JUTE (a woman who lives in the woods) and NATHAN BRONFMAN (a psychologist). Only some of their scenes are related to the themes about nature vs civilization. Therefore, the movie would’ve been much better if PUFF (a man who thinks he's an ape) had been the protagonist... but it wouldn’t have been a masterpiece, because it never really dives into the subject. Half of the humour consists of social awkwardness with a cynic touch, while the other half is a series of more quirky versions of the jokes from ENCINO MAN. Only the fhe former is funny. 6/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog (in English, in Spanish or in Italian).

I'm like a pendulum with Michel Gondry. I either seem to adore his work or feel completely cold to it. I greatly enjoy 'Human Nature' which I've watched several times, it's his funniest film for me. Likewise, I find 'The Science Of Sleep' (2006) and 'Mood Indigo' (2013) quite wonderful.
I need to watch 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind' (2004) again some day but it just never clicked with me; I think that's more to do with Charlie Kaufman's writing though as it's extremely well directed. One viewing of 'Be Kind Rewind' (2008) and 'The Green Hornet' (2011) was enough for me.
I've not seen 'The We And The I' (2012) or 'Microbe & Gasoline' (2015).

It came in between Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, both of which were far better received. No one really remembers Human Nature anymore.
