  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
After discovering that his girlfriend Clementine (Winslet) has had him erased from her memory, Joel Barish (Carrey) decides that he needs some Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind himself. Undergoing the same operation as Clementine had, Joel attempts to permanently delete all traces of her from his thoughts. But his memories throughout the ordeal are too sweet, and Joel discovers that he doesn't want to lose the memories of the woman whom he still loves. (Tricia Littrell)

DVD Picture:
With Eternal Sunshine having been reviewed in Widescreen Review a mere five Issues ago (Issue 90), the 1.85:1 picture is expectedly the same as the previously released DVD. Ellen Kuras

Soundtrack:
No changes were made in this new edition from the previous release, with the same dialogue-heavy Dolby
