Directed by Michel Gondry and written by Charlie Kaufman, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind opened in theaters in the United States on March 19, 2004, and instantly gained universal acclaim from critics and audiences for its visual style, editing, writing, score, and themes.
Since its release, and after two Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actress, the film has become a cult classic and is still considered one of the greatest movies of all time, thanks to its seminal influence on today’s cinematic production.
