ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND

With Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo
Directed by Michel Gondry

Joel met a girl, Clementine. Their relationship differences leads to her abruptly going to a company which erases specific parts of your memory. With Joel no longer a part of her existence, he decides to go and do the same. But mid-process, while he's asleep (the technicians systematically erasing her from his memory banks), he changes his mind within his mind and tries to run from the erasing process as he backtracks through the memories they had together. At first it seems a little confusing, but its non-linear structure soon becomes understandable. After all, it was written by Charlie Kaufman (who gave us Being John Malkovich and Adaptation with another music video director Spike Jonze). Music promo genius Michel Gondry's stamp is all over this incredible film. This little Frenchman has a visual knack that is truly inspiring, this project exactly his kind of thing with optical distortions and logical twists that defy convention. Carrey proves yet again he's more than just a funny guy.
