I was captivated the moment i saw it..the title is taken from a poem by Alexander Pope called Eloisa to Abelard. The movie is a favorite of current heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor ,the movie combines memory erasure...dabbles in science fiction...gives a whole new meaning to the term romance...Jim Carrey in yet another understated brilliant performance plays Joel who meets Clementine( Kate Winslet whose hair color keeps changing) one day on a train and thus begins their love affair...but all of a sudden the twist in the plot becomes evident...something is amiss...
when he snoops around he finds that Clementine had erased all her's as well as their moments spent together.....Carrey with his beard and monkey cap blends into the proceedings...the cinematography is simply awesome to behold....many scenes like Joel and Clementine lying down on the ice for the first time...Joel waking up on a bed near the sea shore.....recalling his childhood days by placing himself in it.......Charlie Kaufman you are a genius.....take a bow......another wonderful scene is when joel tells Clementine how and where he met his former fiancé simply refuse to fade away from my mind...this is one movie to be cherished for a long time to come...
the director has purposely used less lighting to depict fear,loneliness,hope and many more in many scenes....subtle performances....soothing music score....wonderful set designs.....lot of snow is seen on display...unrequited love....wanting to be loved....episodes from younger days....even the voice over by Carrey is effective...
