A Mental Mind Game That Won't Let You Go...

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2001)

Memory loss, stick-it notes, tattoos, and polariod photos. These are the things that Leonard Shelby has at his disposal to find the man who raped and murdered his wife. Structured in a reverse order of events, Chistopher Nolan's sophmore effort Memento is the kind of film that will be talked about, studied, and depated for years to come. Memento is the kind of film that at times makes you confused as hell, and then makes you sit back in surprise. Memento is also the kind of film that once you think you have it figured out tears your predictions to shreads. On top of the top notch acting (Pearce, Moss, and Pantoliano all at their best), Memento is driven by your own psychological interest in the plot. I can assure you that you won't get Memento on your first viewing. But it is well worth going to see multiple times. **** for Memento.
