We’re quite accomplished at failing each other…and ourselves. Stripped of fantasy, the film’s theme is no Luddite cautionary tale but rather just a melancholy observation of human relationships. Technology is the Great Enabler and, perhaps, a secret destroyer-except that the science fiction aspect of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is just an auxiliary to the core relational dynamic. Turns out, Joel (a repressed Jim Carrey) and Clementine (a vibrant Kate Winslet) have done this before. A brain-wipe firm allows its clients to erase choice people or events from their memory. In what might be Charlie Kaufman’s finest script, boy meets girl, unaware that they might be living out a doomed eternal recurrence. Stars: Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst They may not find your classic Hollywood romance ending, but they are able to reach a rare, quiet moment of understanding that can only be found at the end of the world.- Katarina DocalovichĮternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Year: 2004 Where Jesse and Céline are two beautiful strangers falling in love at first sight, Laura and Lyokha are two disheveled, weary wanderers who weren’t looking for anything other than a drink and a place to lay their head while begrudgingly on their way to their next destination. 6 may strike some as a boozier Before Sunrise, but it’s more like the drier, Eastern European answer to Before Sunrise’s romantic Western sensibilities. Their characters are drawn to and repelled by each other, usually within the space of a single scene, without burying the audience under a heap of dialogue. Lyokha’s wiry, occasionally manic energy can’t resist chipping away at Laura’s quiet, watchful reserve. Instinctively character-driven writing allows the natural chemistry between Haarla and Borisov to flourish without showing off they have the space to make more spontaneously visceral choices that convey a shared, tender loneliness. Kuosmanen sheds new light on the concept by ridding it of its heavy melodrama, opting instead for intimate, touching moments of one misfit extending kindness to another.
The enemies-to-lovers trope is a beloved narrative treasure, but it’s also well-worn territory. Sometimes trusting yourself means making yourself vulnerable to people you might never have expected, like your alcoholic train companion. Stars: Seidi Haarla, Yuri Borisov, Dinara Drukarova Here are ten of our favorite snow day movies, presented in alphabetical order:

With the post-holiday, pre-spring dregs of winter well underway, what’s better than staying in with a movie that reflects the frostiness outside? Whether you want to snuggle up to a warm romance or bundle through a thriller that will make your blood run cold, there is a perfect snow day movie for you. Snow can create a romantic, cozy atmosphere or a terrifyingly bleak one, depending on the perspective of the artist. Snow is a unique cinematic element not only because it’s visually gorgeous, but also because of its versatility in connoting a vast spectrum of human experience. In cinema, as in life, the weather directly contributes to the central conflict of its characters: Heat sizzles disagreements to their breaking point rain drenches any emotion in melodrama.
