A couple undergo a procedure to erase each other from their memories when their relationship turns sour, but it is only through the process of loss that they discover what they had to begin with.
This movie is the second collaboration by Gondry and Kaufman, the first being 2002's bizarre Human Nature. That film had some interesting moments and clever direction, but was ultimately too strange and unfocused to ever appeal to the masses. With Eternal Sunshine, although it still may be too strange for some, Kaufman and Gondry have fired at full force on every cylinder to create a beautiful, touching and realistic portrayal of a relationship gone awry. By realistic, I mean the realistic, flawed relationship of Clementine (Kate Winslet) and Joel (Jim Carrey), not the memory-erasing plot device. sources ~ movies.ign.com
