Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
Michel Gondry's 2004 memory erasure romance. Practical effects, beach erosion.
Kirsten Dunst was eleven in Interview with the Vampire, playing a child vampire trapped in a body that will never age, and won a Golden Globe nomination for it.
The Spider-Man trilogy made her a franchise lead, and Marie Antoinette and Melancholia are the artistically serious work, the latter winning her Best Actress at Cannes.
The Power of the Dog brought her first Academy Award nomination at thirty-nine, opposite her partner Jesse Plemons, and Fargo on television gave her a superb comic-menacing lead.
