swedeWatch as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind director and sweding enthusiast Michel Gondry reshoots Scorsese’s gritty NYC thriller as a psychotically adorable short. Heads will explode… with paint driblets.

Remember when Lars Von Trier almost remade Taxi Driver, probably into something languid, gorgeously overwhelming and nihilistic? This is exactly the opposite of that.

This is lo-fi, very rabid goodness sans all that kid rape stuff, plus ice cream and projectile rainbow-pigment vomiting. Oh, and there are some brief, mind-tickling surrealist mini-scenes with taxi cab mirrors and bathroom reflections, plus a true gem of a pan over bloody Bickle’s stand-off finale tribute, complete with a paper set masacre, tiny writhing plastic soldier stuntmen and more. I’ll say no more. Watch.
