A man with a 'condition' staring death and reverie in the face

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2000)

From it's reverese-shot opening to it's casual shrug-of-the-shoulders ending, Momento keeps you guessing, gasping, laughing, and most importantly interested.
To describe too much of the story is to deny it it's recipie of disaster. However, I will say how well the lead character - Leonard - is constructed.
The script has a deep sense of Memento mori pumping through it's heart, affording it the twists and dramatic judders underlined with a sense of imminent foreboding.
Some (invaribly those too busy chatting/munching/dialing to get it) will not appreciate this staggeringly refreshing piece of work. They'll say "it dosen't make sense!!!!"
Life dosen't make sense - so why should a piece of art or literature drawn from it!
