After a rough breakup, Joel (Jim Carrey) opts for a procedure to erase all memories of his ex-girlfriend, Clementine (Kate Winslet), after learning that she’s already done it and forgotten about him. Written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Michel Gondry, this surreal exploration of love, pain, grief, and memory is essential viewing. Mark Ruffalo, Kirsten Dunst, and Elijah Wood round out the cast.
