A one of a kind event...

Rating: 8/10 (26 January 2003)

1st watched 1/26/2003 - 8 out of 10(Dir-Christopher Nolan): A one of a kind event is what this complex drama/thriller is. It's basically about a man who lost his short-term memory after his wife's death and then gets used by people under the disguise of him killing his wife's murderer. The unique filming from present to past with shots almost like the main character views them confuses the audience but at the same time keeps you watching. Watching this movie is almost like solving a complex puzzle where you know there's a solution and you have to keep trying to find it. The problem is you have to think through everything you saw to even figure out the puzzle once the movie is over. The performances are wonderful from top to bottom even though I don't even remember the names of the stars(uh, oh - maybe I got it now.). But seriously, the filmmaking and the performances make this a must see at least for a couple of viewings and then some good discussion afterwards as well.
