Part of Love Week
After a painful breakup, Clementine (Kate Winslet) undergoes a procedure to erase memories of her former boyfriend Joel (Jim Carrey) from her mind. When Joel discovers that Clementine is going to extremes to forget their relationship, he undergoes the same procedure and slowly begins to forget the woman that he loved. Directed by Michel Gondry, the visually arresting film explores the intricacy of relationships and the pain of loss.
“Watching ETERNAL SUNSHINE, you don’t just watch a love story — you fall in love with what love really is.” —Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly “ETERNAL SUNSHINE feels like something entirely brand-new; such are the gifts of [writer Charlie] Kaufman and [director Michael] Gondry, inventors and magicians…. the longer it plays, the shorter it feels: Just as we get to know Joel and Clementine, and as they get to know each other (or is that forget each other?) again, it's time to leave. But the movie, unlike most, is unforgettable.” —Robert Wilonsky, Dallas Observer (Mar 18, 2004)
