Then and now: The cast of 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' 20 years later

  • It's been two decades since "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" first came out in theaters.
  • The movie has been back in the spotlight following the release of Ariana Grande's new album, "Eternal Sunshine."

"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" premiered in theaters 20 years ago, in 2004.

Directed by Michel Gondry, the sci-fi romance centers on a man named Joel (Jim Carrey) who discovers that his ex-girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) has had their relationship erased from her memory following their breakup.

Determined to move on, Joel gets the same experimental procedure, only to find himself falling for her all over again as he relives their memories together.

At the time, many praised Carrey and Winslet's performances as well as the script, for which the movie won an Academy Award for best original screenplay.

And it seems it hasn't lost any of its charm over the years, still holding strong critic and audience ratings on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.

The cult classic has been back in the spotlight lately thanks in part to popstar Ariana Grande, who has coopted the movie's title for her latest album, "Eternal Sunshine," which was released earlier this month.

To mark the film's 20th anniversary, Business Insider has taken a look at what the cast of the film has been up to since it was released.
