Michel Gondry's film is a fascinating melange of romance, fantasy and illusion, co-scripted with Charlie Kaufman.
Joel Barish and Clementine Kruczynski were once madly in love, but their affair has gone stale. And when they meet again by chance, she doesn't just blank him, she genuinely doesn't know him. Then Joel finds out the truth. Using a new and highly experimental technology, she is having her memories of him erased from her brain.
In revenge, he's determined to undergo the same process but as dodgy scientist Dr Howard Mierzwiak begins the procedure, Joel changes his mind. Can he hang on to enough memories to win Clementine back?
