Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004)

After they break up, a man (Jim Carrey) discovers that his ex-girlfriend (Kate Winslet) has had a medical procedure that has erased the memory of their relationship from her mind. In desperation, he decides to undergo the same procedure but during the process, he changes his mind. But he's unconscious, so how can he prevent it. Directed by Michel Gondry, this unique blend of romance and science fiction is intelligent and complicated thanks to Charlie Kaufman's Oscar winning screenplay. There's never been anything quite like it. It's as romantic as any romcom but it skips over the cliches and never falls into the sentimental trap that is often inherent in the genre. The acting is very good with Carrey giving what might be a career best performance. The dream like cinematography by Ellen Kuras (SUMMER OF SAM) is amazing and there's a sensational underscore by Jon Brion (MAGNOLIA). With Mark Ruffalo, Kirsten Dunst, Tom Wilkinson, Elijah Wood and Jane Adams.
