A truly unforgettable experience

Rating: 8/10 (3 October 2001)

Memento haunts you long after you've seen it, not only due to its refreshing storytelling, but mainly because it raises such fundamental questions: are we what we remember we are? Is our memory the measure of our capacity to change our destiny? Is memory the basic measure to a moral conscience? It's hard to find nowadays films that deal with these interesting dilemmas (or any other interesting topics, for that matter)and Memento does it quite skillfully, as the film noir genre is the best to make it appealing to a broad audience. And noir it is. Leonard's story is a dark one. How would be ours, if a similar fate were to befall us?
