...without using the surreal illustrations that made “Eternal Sunshine” seem so fresh.The key to understanding Gondry’s versatility are the music videos that made him famous. Although he had not met Chappelle before the shoot, anyone who has seen his work with Bjork or The White Stripes can see that Gondry innately understands the inventive possibilities accruing to matching music to film; song allows the possibility of a narrative that would be impossible with mere words and pictures.The original interpretation of “Jesus Walks” in “Block...
...went out with white music like a girl my parents didn't want me to date. I kept the volume low. I hid my new CDs. A new magic poured into me, mostly from Bjork and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Into this town of ostensibly decent folk comes a fugitive named Grace (Kidman), a familiar Von Trier heroine-victim, like the ones played by Emily Watson in Breaking the Waves and Bjork in Dancer in the Dark. Grace is the beneficiary of the townspeople's Christian charity, then the victim of their envy, malice, lies and sadism. She stoically endures a spate of abuse nearly as long and relentless as Jesus' in the Mel Gibson gospel. Her resurrection, though, takes a different...
