Nolan's best movie so far

Rating: 9/10 (30 September 2013)

Memento is a mystery-thriller about a man who has a very short term memory and therefore he can't remember things that have happened more than 1 min ago. Nevertheless, he desperately tries to find out who killed his wife and made him mentally disabled. So he writes notes on everything, from photos to his body in order to remember the facts Because it doesn't matter what he thinks, it's the details written down that counts There are other people, though, trying to abuse this deficiency of him
The movie is directed by the maker of Inception and the Batman trilogy- and we have to mention that it is better than the 4 movie altogether, as this was the movie which have made Christopher Nolan famous, and maybe so thought the jury of the Academy Award as they nominated the film for Best Film Editing and Best Screenplay.
We have to mention Guy Pearce, who give a memorably performance as Leonard, the main character. I also liked the camera work and, of course, the directing, which is basically to have control over all aspects of the filmmaking.
My only criticism is the language being used in one scene of the film, but it is reasonable because of the plot. Why this movie is amusing is that it has two story lines. One storyline moves forward in time while the other tells the story backwards revealing more each time. It's a dark thriller with an interesting question: Is a man guilty of what he did if he doesn't remember why he did them?
All in all, Memento is an interesting, challenging film with an intricate plot, and I guarantee you that it will fix you in your chair for its 113 min length
