Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a 2004 American science fiction romantic comedy-drama film directed by Michel Gondry and written by Charlie Kaufman from a story by Gondry, Kaufman, and Pierre Bismuth.

The title of the film is a quotation from the 1717 poem Eloisa to Abelard by Alexander Pope.
