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?

Ethan and Talia discuss Richard Linklater’s 2014 film Boyhood.

Ethan and Talia discuss Jonathan Glazer’s 2013 film Under the Skin. How beautiful but cold art can still be a favourite film; seeing the human race from a National Geographic perspective; and the strange intensity of a sex scene with Scarlett Johansson by a non-professional actor, only playing the part because he owned the house that was the filming location.
links to things discussed in this episode
• The notes from Michel Faber’s novel
• Interesting discussion with Johnathan Glazer in Guardian
• Video that Talia watched to get some of the theories about what is happening in the film

Ethan and Talia discuss Bill Forsyth’s 1983 film Local Hero. We wonder if all our favourite films are so because of their nostalgic element; how we still take pleasure in a film with very little conflict; and how Talia is disappointed to find that this film is many other people’s favourite as well as her own.
links to things discussed in this episode
• BBC programme discussing Local Hero including the end of the film
• Apparently the belief that in the 1970s a coming ice age was going to happen isn’t quite true
• Mark Kermode’s Film Club on Local Hero
