Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind: Love, Lobotomize, Repeat

CATEGORY: UH-OH AMNESIAThis week we’re diving into one of the most beloved, and artistically singular, romantic movies of all time: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), directed by Michel Gondry and written by Charlie Kaufman. Now, is this a rom-COM? Maybe, maybe not! But we are covering it regardless! This movie stars Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet as Joel and Clementine, two exes who literally erase each other from their memories, only to discover they just can't quit each other. Elena and Chelsea break down why Eternal Sunshine still feels groundbreaking over 20 years later, Elena's theory that Charlie Kaufman hates all of his exes, Michel Gondry’s use of ingenious in camera practical effects, and why Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey playing against type makes us only love this movie more. Plus we gush over Kirsten Dunst, unpack the movie’s quietly horrifying consent issues, and Elena tells the story of her real-life run-in with Michel Gondry.
