ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (2004) w/ Michel Gondry music videos pre-show

February 27 : 7:00 am 9:15 pm

“Among the best love stories of the 21st century…impossible to forget” – The Guardian

Widely (and rightfully) considered one of the best American films of the 21st century, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND is a wildly inventive and deeply soulful exploration of love, loss, and memory. Fully liberated from the shackles of mugging comedy, Jim Carrey stars as sad sack Joel, who is stunned to discover that his girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet, in perhaps her finest performance) has had their tumultuous relationship erased from her mind. Joel decides to get the same treatment, but as his memories of Clementine begin to fade, Joel suddenly realizes how much he still loves her. Charlie Kaufman’s brilliant, heartbreaking, and mind-altering script is brought to weird and wonderful life through the innovative in-camera special effects of director Michel Gondry. ETERNAL SUNSHINE may be a film about forgetting, but once experienced, it sticks in your heart and mind forever.

Before the film, we’ll be showcasing some of Michel Gondry’s equally innovative music video work with a pre-show starting at 6 pm.
