Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Resources

If you're a local New Yorker or know the area, you might appreciate this breakdown of Eternal Sunshine filming locations. You could even stop by Gondry's place and say hi.

An interesting article about the importance of memory to identity—and about how Eternal Sunshine shows this. Does that mean you lose a part of yourself if you can't remember what you ate for breakfast this morning?

Here's an article that sheds some light on Eternal Sunshine by talking about—what else?—lighting.

Now that you've seen Eternal Sunshine, why not see a short of a spinning camera watching Eternal Sunshine? Sounds pretty revolutionary, right? You just might want to pay more attention to the room than the movie. (Side note: it's not about Sauron.)

This whole 'Lacuna procedure' thing is just some far-fetched science fiction stuff, right? Well, for now, maybe. But neuroscientists are already doing some serious memory manipulation to mice. Check out what they have to say in this TED Talk.

What happens when Carrey and Gondry take a break from Eternal Sunshine and decide to have a little fun? Well, this happens… whatever you want to call it.

Watch this lovely Lacuna commercial, featuring everyone's favorite, Dr. Mierzwiak. But, uh, "destructive love affair"? That's an oddly extreme and specific example, don't you think, Howard?

Want to know how to make an eternally reversing street block? Look no further than this special effects explanation video, which takes you through some of Gondry's visual tricks.

Here's a deleted scene of Clem and Joel's first date. If you hang around YouTube, you'll also find other deleted scenes, including plenty of Naomi (who was actually a character) and a disturbing piece of information about Mary's past.

First part of an interview in which Carrey and Gondry talk about the filming of the movie—with some fun anecdotes thrown in, of course.

Leave it to an indie rock band to create a song about a made-up constellation from the movie. It's almost like obscurity is a contest these days.

Tired of your typical, feel-good, motivational, stock background images? Maybe this one will cheer you up.

Check out Joel's mind map. We promise it's much more interesting than green dots on a picture of his brain.

Are Joel's memories ever really rid of their emotional core? This is an interesting illustration, although it doesn't answer any of our questions.

How could you resist an adorable picture of Jim and Kate holding their younger selves?
