She’s irresistible here and without doubt more watchable than we’ve ever seen her. In these central roles Jim Carrey gives another excellent performance and he’s matched every step of the way by Kate Winslett. And for the first 20 minutes at least it does, so captivating is Joel and Clementine’s first meeting. The trailer for Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (which I intentionally watched only from behind my VUE cinemas Unreel magazine) suggests a film that will envelop the viewer in a whirlwind of emotions.
Indeed it’s clear that Kaufman feels most comfortable when in the mindscape of his characters, and that his characters are usually losers. Those familiar with Kaufman’s best known works will hear echoes of both Adaptation and Being John Malkovich in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. His films are often completely insane, but always startlingly original, and that’s what makes them such compulsive viewing. Charlie Kaufman has to be the quirkiest mainstream screenwriter Hollywood has ever tolerated.
