In tonight’s episode, we’ll wrap up 2011 and our Charlie Kaufman trilogy with 2004’s Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind, directed by Michel Gondry.
It’s the second collaboration between director Spike Jonze and screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, and it’s another brilliant film to talk about. This time, it’s 2002’s “Adaptation.”
Many people consider 1999 to be one of the great years in cinema. Countless great movies released that year, and one of those was Spike Jonze’s fantasy comedy about a man who discovers a portal into John Malkovich’s head and the two women in his life.
