S01E07: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

November 2nd, 2020 No comments

Ethan and Talia discuss Michel Gondry’s 2004 film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Is Ethan’s love for this film part of the attraction of the manic pixie dream girl trope? How our delight or this film is in part enhanced by Michel Gondry’s obvious delight in the filming process; and is this a romantic comedy that has become a favourite because it avoids the usual sentimentality of the genre?
