Being Charlie Kaufman. posted by Richard Seymour
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
If you know Charlie's films (Being John Malkovitch, Adaptation, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind), you don't need me to tell you that this is witty, baroque, uber-intellectual and downright wierd. This time, however, it is moving and passionate. Better still, the title comes from an Alexander Pope poem.
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd
(Alexander Pope, Eloise to Abelard).
Go see.
