Deutscher Kommentar - German comment

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2007)

This film is not anything for the kind of spectator, who would like to sit down only and want to see action, or an action-thriller. With this film, I think, must one immediately think about it and think about which happened up to now.
But this movie impressed me genuinely, because it was turned in a style, which I had never seen before in other movies. Who would like to find this new style out himself, reads on only with the next to last paragraph.
The special at the film: There is two different story lines, one in color those told the story by the end to backwards and one to black-and-white those told the story from the outset forward, the end of the film is the point where both story lines meets.
In order to anticipate the story not too much: It concerns Leonard (Lenny) on the search for the murderer of his wife is, however suffers him after her death an illness: He cannot note facts, therefore he tries to remember again and again with photos and notes
Result: A fantastic modern thriller, in which definitely no boredom arises and whose background too obviously is not to be checked up.
