This film is a true testimony of how rigged the oscars are...

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2002)

Memento, directed by Christopher Nolan, is a visual trip. This film is one true example, along with Requiem for a Dream and Crouching Tiger, that the oscars aren't a good meter of how good a film truly is. Memento totally blows Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring out of the water. The story possesses a great concept; how would you exact revenge on your wife's killer if you could only remember in 15 minute lapses? Guy Pearce handles the part well by taking the role seriously and convincingly. Definitely a film that requires repeated viewings, Memento is THE film noir of the new decade.
Rating: 10/10
