In the enduringly excellent ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, Joel (Jim Carrey) is heartbroken when he discovers his ex-girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winselt) has had her memories of their relationship erased. Desperate, he undergoes the same procedure, during which his memories of Clementine—the good, the bad, the ugly—fight to endure. Written by Charlie Kaufman (who won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay) and directed by the visionary Michel Gondry, who uses practical effects, handheld camerawork, and non-linear editing to deliver a melancholic, sci-fi, rom-com masterpiece about how we’re destined to find, and hurt, the ones we love
