Michel Gondry??s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was visceral, virtuoso filmmaking, a visual trip that delighted the senses while ruminating on the deepest human themes of love, loss and memory. Charlie Kaufman picked up his second original screenplay nomination for this gem, whose late spring release date crippled its chances of Oscar success. Tape the awards and pick this one up on DVD; as he did with the masterpiece Adaptation, Kaufman questioned our assumptions of what...

One look at Gondry??s work in the recent eponymous DVD collection celebrating his music video and short film work, and his inventiveness is clear. For the Rolling Stones’ video “Like a Rolling Stone,” he created the technology so that the camera’s perspective continues to roll as if it were an actual rolling stone. In the White Stripes’ “Fell in Love...
