Director: Michel Gondry
Rated: R
Length: 108 min.
In this very strange, but quirky romantic tale of the odd couple, Jim Carrey (Joel Barrish) and Kate Winslet (Clementine Kruczynski), we find that some people can never truly be forgotten. Carrey plays a lost man, bored senseless, who can't seem to find his way until he makes a chance encounter with Winslet. Clementine seems to be a bit on the crazy side, but in this case, she is just the bit of crazy that Joel Barish needs in his life at this time. For Winslet, this is a dramatic transformation from her roles in such films as Titanic, where she plays the rebellious young lover of Leonardo DiCaprio. But in this film she finds a way into the audience's heart, maybe its her constant alteration of vibrant hair color, or maybe its her unpredictably cute behavior; but somehow we all fall in love in the end. This is not your typical love story and it leaves a bit lingering at the film's conclusion, but it shows us that love is something that cannot be forgotten, no matter how hard we try to erase it from our minds forever. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
