Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

Bronwen and I both really enjoyed this well-made Charles Kaufmann look at a man (Jim Carey) who decides to have unpleasant memories of a relationship removed via a new process. (It won the Oscar for best original sceenplay a month after we saw it). Kirsten Dundst is in this as well. Some parts don’t fit together, indeed, there’s almost an interpenetration of minds excised, and the thing is like a puzzle that doesn’t quite have all the pieces to fit inside the frame, but the movie is a pleasure to watch. Carey and all the other principles do a very fine job, and they bring a lot to the making of the movie with their own memories acted out in their characters. We really enjoyed the movie despite its flaws. The DVD features are also worth watching, especially the interviews. See it
