2) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Directed by Michel Gondry
It seems impossible that Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) can keep turning out such innovative scripts, each finding the harsh reality in fantasy. Sunshine, directed with visual wizardry by Michel Gondry, raises the bar by being his most deeply felt work to date. A subtly moving Jim Carrey and a flamboyantly superb Kate Winslet work miracles as ex-lovers who seek medical help to erase each other from their bruised memories. The film juggles so many ideas that it threatens to spin out of control. But watch out -- it sneaks up on you and knocks you flat.
