a unique and unmissable film

Rating: 7/10 (16 September 2001)

When I first heard about the premise of this film I was immediately interested. A man who is unable to make new memories tries to find the murderer of his wife. Through polaroids of the people he meets, and countless clues tattooed on his entire body, he tries to piece the puzzle together. Yet everyone he comes into contact with uses him to their ends. The story is told in a series of interlapping pieces, forcing the viewer to constantly stay in his or her toes, in keeping up. This fits the movie perfectly as it gives a greater insight into the world of the protagonist. The actors are all top notch and overall, just a great movie.
