    • Abstract:
      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.

    • Abstract:
      El artículo propone un estudio del filme ¡Olvídate de mí! como caso paradigmático de “película de memoria”. La cinta, dirigida por Michel Gondry y con guion de Charlie Kaufman, aborda la representación fílmica de la memoria personal de una manera lograda, en su doble condición de objeto y proceso. El análisis aborda en primer lugar cómo la memoria emerge en la película como eje temático de la representación fílmica. Después se analiza la estructura del relato, construida a partir distintas líneas narrativas que se entrecruzan constantemente y que provocan una evidente complejidad narratológica. Y, por último, se atiende a los tres rasgos más característicos de las películas de memoria: la subjetividad, la indiscernibilidad temporal y la performatividad. La forma en la que estos tres conceptos convergen en ¡Olvídate de mí! convierte este filme en un excelente ejemplo de las posibilidades a las que se abre la representación fílmica de la memoria personal.
