not for the feint of smart

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2001)

Just when you thought there was no new way to experience a film...
Since plot summaries abound here, I'll spare you another.
Thought-provoking, puzzling movies that have high expectations of the audience are rarely in wide release. This movie is tastefully shot, compellingly acted and supremely edited. Despite a few continuity problems, this was the best movie experience I've had in almost 2 years.

Warning: if you enjoy Adam Sandler movies, Kenny G or Touched by an Angel you probably won't want to waste your money on this. If you like fine wine, jazz or chess, there's a very good chance Memento's intriguing experience will be one you'll relish for days.
