Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

In gloomy suburban NYC, Joel (Jim Carrey) is stunned to discover that his girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) has had their tumultuous relationship erased from her mind. Out of desperation, he contacts the inventor of the process, Dr. Howard Mierzwiak (Tom Wilkinson), to get the same treatment. But as his memories of Clementine begin to fade, Joel suddenly realizes how much he still loves her. Named one of the best films of the 21st century by The New York Times and the BBC, Michael Gondry’s second film is an angular, refractive meditation on love’s shadow, featuring Mark Ruffalo, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, and David Cross.
