Bonus Content: A Look Inside Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind A Conversation with Jim Carrey and Director Michel Gondry Feature Commentary with Michel Gondry and Writer Charlie Kaufman Deleted Scenes Polyphonic Spree "Light & Day" Music Video Lacuna Commercial Inside the Mind of Michel Gondry Anatomy of a Scene: Saratoga Avenue A Conversation with Kate Winslet and Director Michel Gondry Deleted / Extended Scenes Additional Features With the Oscar restrictions on screeners starting in 2002, studios have found another outlet to get their movies into the hands of Academy voters--releasing the film on DVD before the balloting. Thus this new edition of the eccentric comedy comes with a photo book stuffed with the superlatives the critics rained on the film; the kind of swag often thrown to Oscar voters. The first disc is the same as the initial widescreen release; the second disc has over an hour of interesting extras. The behind-the-scenes featurettes showcase director Michel Gondry's unique approach to use theatrical tricks and old fashion, in-camera effects over CGI wizardry. These camera tests and snippets of unused scenes are more fascinating than the 20-minute deleted and extended scene section. Plus there are plenty of jokes about Gondry's heavy accent--most by the director himself. --Doug Thomas
