Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
- Rating:
- Director: Michel Gondry
- Starring: Jim Carrey
- Details: US / 108 mins (15's).
When Joel Barish (Carrey) realises his girlfriend Clementine (Winslet) has visited Lacuna Inc. to have her memories of him wiped, he decides on a little tit-for-tat - except his subconscious won't accept the erasing process. Charlie Kaufman's script is as clever as those he wrote for Adaptation and Being John Malkovich; Carrey and Winslet rise to the occasion.
