Resumo

The article proposes a study of the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as a paradigmatic case of "memory film". The film, directed by Michel Gondry and written by Charlie Kaufman, addresses the filmic representation of personal memory in an accomplished way, in its double condition of object and process. The analysis first deals with how memory emerges in the film as its thematic axis. Then the structure of the story is analyzed, built with different narrative lines that constantly intersect and that cause an obvious narratological complexity. Finally, the three most characteristic features of memory films are addressed: subjectivity, temporal indiscernibility and performativity. The way in which these three features converge on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind makes this film an excellent example of the possibilities available in cinema for the representation of personal memory.
