Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is Impossible To Forget

Dear Listener,

Clint, Cal and Alex, hosts of The CineFix Top 100, have had the ranking of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind erased from their memories. Please never mention where the film fits into the Top 100 again.

Thank you.

For episode 2, we appreciate your cooperation and continued support while Clint, Cal and Alex muddle through their feelings about Michel Gondry’s all-timer, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Written by Charlie Kaufman and starring Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Mark Ruffalo at the front of a cast of soon-to-be heavy hitters, the film takes a low tech sci fi approach to romance and the fallout of a relationship. 

We dig into how Gondry achieved some truly creative and thematically perfect in-camera effects, why Jim Carrey wasn’t allowed to improvise on camera, whether or not Kate Winslet being so great in EVERYTHING makes this role stand out less in her career and which movie lists Eternal Sunshine belongs on! The short answer is, a lot.
