The lines between fantasy and reality blur in these three films featuring mind-bending visuals and twisty plots. Sweet Dreams: Three Films Where Dreams Come True!
September 10: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
After a painful breakup, Clementine (Kate Winslet) undergoes a procedure to erase memories of her former boyfriend Joel (Jim Carrey) from her mind. When Joel discovers that Clementine is going to extremes to forget their relationship, he undergoes the same procedure and slowly begins to forget the woman that he loved.
As they relive their tangled relationship in Joel's dreams, he begins to question if this is truly the resolution that he wants.
Directed by Michel Gondry (Be Kind Rewind) and written by Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich), the visually arresting film explores the intricacy of relationships and the pain of loss, delivered with equal measures of sight gags and gut punches.
"Works marvel after marvel in expressing the bewildering beauty and existential horror of being trapped inside one's own addled mind, and in allegorising the self-preserving amnesia of a broken but hopeful heart." —Jessica Winter, Time Out
Directed by Michel Gondry
Starring Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Tom Wilkinson, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo, Kirsten Dunst
