Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind: chosen by our listeners to rip our hearts out all over again
Listen now
Description
This week our film was chosen by YOU lovely listeners. We asked for an iconic 90s or 00s film and you really delivered. The cult classic Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a film that genuinely keeps on giving, from the gut-wrenching emotional turmoil, to the visual language that was truly ahead of its time. We discuss the sour backstory of the making of this film; whether pushing actors too far and bad working conditions can ever be justified by the great art it resulted in. We’re divided. We look at the unexpected but extraordinary performances from an eccentric Kate Winslet and a heartbreaking Jim Carrey. Oh, and we ask ourselves, would we ever go through the procedure Clementine does? Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a 2004 American science fiction romantic drama film directed by Michel Gondry based on Charlie Kaufman's screenplay. Starring Kate Winslet, Jim Carrey, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood and Mark Ruffalo. A full transcript of this episode can be found here.
