Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is an American romance film by director Michel Gondry. The film uses a science fiction element to explore the nature of memory and love. The film's title is taken from a poem Eloisa to Abelard by Alexander Pope. Further literary references may include Nietzsche: "Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders," whereas Mary Svevo's name may be a reference to Italo Svevo, whose Confessions of Zeno is about a man who is trying to explain himself to his psychiatrist by revisiting his memories.
