Cue the action - inside the wired brain of our slumbering hero.Ĭarrey and Winslet are brilliant in Eternal Sunshine So a pair of rather cavalier technicians (Mark Ruffalo and Elijah Wood) connect him to the hardware. Learning of her treachery, he decides to follow suit, hiring the same outfit to perform the same service. Just hook up the electrodes, program the computer, and ZAP - Joel, the whole relationship, has vanished from her memory. It's a shabby clinic that specializes in erasing from the mind all traces of a corroded love affair. So badly that Clementine has resorted to a modern version of Eloisa's nunnery - a place aptly called Lacuna. Or has it re-flamed? Flashback to a year earlier, and the movie's prevailing conceit: Seems the two already had a relationship, which ended badly.
A night later, romance has flamed in the ice of winter.

A free and lively spirit - her hair is bluer than his mood - she breaks through Joel's barrier of reserve and an amorous spark is ignited. Apparently depressed, certainly lugubrious, he decides to skip work and forsake Manhattan for an outing to Montauk, where, on a frozen beach, fate dispenses a total stranger named Clementine (Kate Winslet). On Valentine's Day, 2004, Joel (a shaggy and shockingly passive Jim Carrey) lumbers out of bed to face another eternal February morning.

During a pre-credit sequence that extends for a full 15 minutes, boy meets girl. We appear to begin (although this will prove deceptive) in the first phase of romance. That takes some doing, and more explaining. His neat achievement here is to make the lovers, and us, cover the entire range in a single bound, and to experience all those emotions simultaneously.

Depending on whether their goal is laughter or tears, most movie romances tend to deal only at the extremes of the spectrum - comedies at the starting line, melodramas at the finish. Of course, in any finite relationship, a lover's mind is a multi-layered vessel that typically fills with different emotions at different times - at the start, joy and trembling passion in the middle, unease and mounting restlessness at the end, anger and profound disenchantment. But rest assured - in keeping with Kaufman's own peculiar cortex, everything else here is blessedly original. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (that word, again) swipes its glorious title from Pope. To date, the minds he has invaded include: the actor's in Being John Malkovich the savage's in Human Nature the celebrity's in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind the writer's (his very self) in Adaptation.
It's a kind of expressionism remodelled for the pop age, drained of its sonorousness and made user-friendly - comedy, romance, tragedy, all internalized and then, ingeniously, all acted out.Īlready, Kaufman has proven himself the master of many portals. What Kaufman has invented is nothing less than the interior action flick, a cinematic stream-of-consciousness that turns the contemplative into the kinetic, that transforms synaptic flickerings into kisses and car crashes.
Unique in the annals of moviedom, his scripts are literally cerebral - they invite us into a teeming cranium, where thoughts are made visual and we get to see them in action. Charlie Kaufman loves mind games, and plays them like no one else. How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot: Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Directed by Michel Gondry Written by Charlie Kaufman Starring Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Mark Ruffalo Classification: 14A Rating: ***
