Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) [R]

Original, confusing, amazing, romantic, sad, funny movie about love and memory. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet as Joel and Clementine, play against type and deliver wonderful performances. Written by Charlie Kaufman, you know it's going to be a crazy ride.

After a bad breakup, Clementine decides to undergo a process where all her memories of Joel will be erased. When Joel finds out, he decides to do the same. Most of the movie takes place inside Joel's mind as he goes through the procedure. The result is dreamy, in reverse time sequence, and full of surprises.

It also turns out that the employees of the company which performs the memory erasure are all pretty self-serving and affect what happens to Clementine and Joel.

The movie is out of time sequence, so keep track by the color of Clementine's hair which at various times is blue, orange, red, or green. 

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind takes a look at the love relationship. Is it inevitable that relationships go through ups and downs? When do we stay and when do we give up? Are we fated to find each other? Are we our memories and who are we without them?

Watch with someone you love...
