It’s a question Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mindtranslated into Italian from If you leave me I will remove youfilm by Michel Gondry with Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, written by Charlie Kaufman.
“Se mi lasci ti gate” is a modern cult, highly acclaimed by the public and critics, who praise its complexity, subject to many interpretations. The essay, which capillarily reconstructs each scene of the film, describes the details and numerous interpretations, was written by Marco Giallonardi, a former author of books dedicated to David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino.
“Only the meeting of two visionary geniuses such as Gondry and Kaufman,” says the author, “could give life to such a magical and original film as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which, almost 20 years after its release, still manages to excite and entertain a large audience. stimulating analyzes and interpretations that tell a universally sentimental and human story through the lens of surrealism and fantasy, ranked among the most successful American mind games films and certainly among the best films of our lives.”
Joel meets Clementine on Valentine’s Day: it seems to be love at first sight, but they do not know that they already had a two-year relationship that ended badly in mutual “cancellation”. Fate and a dilapidated clinic will eventually give them a new chance.
An eternal and forgetful love story that prompts an endless variety of interpretations and attempts to reconstruct the difficult relationship between plot and plot, made even more magical by the creative imagination of two artists, one cinematic image, another pen. Giallonardi delves into every aspect of this relationship, uncovering the contexts, expectations and inspirations that have led to the film’s work of conception, construction and execution to become an emblem of the genre.
