It's hard to believe Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind turned 20 earlier this year. Unlike the characters in the film, many will surely never forget the core memories the movie created the first time they watched the science fiction flick, which is about taking great measures to erase an ex from one's brain. And, as it turns out, Kate Winslet feels that way and shared her love of making the Charlie Kaufman film while telling us how it connects to her 2024 movie release , Lee .
CinemaBlend spoke to Kate Winslet about the making of her biopic, which recounts the story of how former model and eventual surrealist photographer Lee Miller ended up on the ground amid World War II. The photog documented some of the most striking images from that period in history. Winslet, who spent nearly a decade working on the film, discussed bringing on director Ellen Kuras, who served as cinematographer for Eternal Sunshine .
When I asked Winslet if there was a moment from set years ago that sparked Kuras' hiring, she said this: There was no specific scene, it was everything. The whole start to finish process of putting the film together. I was on it for five years before Ellen, and I started really talking about her coming on and being the director, and Kate Solomon, my producing partner, was really a key part in building the story with us as a group of women and collaborating in a totally open way and firing off each other and sticking together.
And that was very much a part of how Lee als.
