Often cited as one of the defining films of the 2000s due to its dreamlike visuals and pioneering non-linear timeline and unreliable narrators that has gone on to inspire countless films and series.

A visually inventive and emotionally raw exploration of memory, love, and loss, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind follows Joel (Jim Carrey), a reserved man who discovers that his impulsive ex-girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) has undergone a medical procedure to erase all memories of their relationship. In a mix of desperation and curiosity, Joel decides to do the same — but as he relives his memories with her as they vanish one by one, he rediscovers just how deeply he loves her.

The film unfolds largely inside Joel’s mind, blending surrealism with grounded emotion as he tries to hide Clementine in forgotten corners of his subconscious in an effort to resist the erasure.
