Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

Directed by Michel Gondry

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

"Meet me in Montauk."

Before Charlie Kaufman broke your brain, he broke your heart. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet erase each other from their memories after a breakup, but love doesn't work like that. The movie plays in reverse, unraveling their relationship as Joel tries to hide Clementine in his happiest memories.

You'll cry. You'll question reality. You'll dye your hair blue or orange or green. Every ex will feel like a memory you wish you could delete but secretly want to keep. The ultimate "it's complicated" movie for people who think too much about their feelings.

essential tracks:

Beck - "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime"
The Polyphonic Spree - "Light & Day"
