2000 Directed by Christopher Nolan
Leonard Shelby is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty, however, of locating his wife's killer is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he's going, or why.

The films complexity coupled with the non linear format forced me to take measures I don't normally take while viewing a film! With reckless abandon I took a tattoo needle to my flesh logging every minute detail on every nook and cranny and crevice of my body! Sadly Newton's law of gravity took effect.. the tattoo's are now completely indecipherable! Next time I'll use Post It Notes ;-)
The first time I viewed the film I detested the grotesque non linear format but after several viewings I have come to greatly appreciate this truly novel effort and have finally given it the love it fully deserves!
Nolan's sadistic magnum opus puts the audience's tits through the wringer! And it's no surprise they keep coming back for more! Because nobody and I mean nobody.. knows how to engage and entertain his audiences both visually and cerebrally!
Naughty Approved!
Whenever I re-watch Memento, I'm always reminded of the quote from the book Sculpting in Time, written by my favorite director in the history of cinema, Andrei Tarkovsky, which states, “I felt all the time that, for the film to be a success, the texture of the scenery and the landscapes must fill me with definite memories and poetic associations.” I believe that Tarkovsky was spot on with his titular assertion that the act of creating cinema is, indeed, the equivalent to the act of sculpting time, and that Christopher Nolan's Memento could almost be viewed as fine example of contemporary structuralism -- "structuralist film theory emphasizes how films convey meaning through the use of codes and conventions not dissimilar…
Part Six of Preparing (As Much As Humanly Possible) For Interstellar
Memento is one of Nolan's most gripping works, a puzzle-box neo-noir of intimate and tragic beauty, all tied in with a narrative that is told uniquely and effectively. Completely dropping any sign of a linear story or framework, the film goes off the rails in the finest way possible, culminating in a film that is funny, powerful, saddening, and wonderfully cinematic.
Guy Pierce is at his finest here, playing the protagonist of Leonard with an oblivious and shocking timidity. It works for the role, which happens to be one of the finest characters in any of Nolan's films. Similarly great are Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano, both adding to…
That was excellent. It's going to take a while to put it together in my head, but that's part of the fun of this story told in reverse order. Right? So far I've only seen Nolan's Batman movies, but I think I need to see some more. What an ending (beginning?)!
I think the point nolan trying to tell us isn't wheter Lanny kill his wife or not. The intention of the movie never about to find out who kill his wife. But nolan want to show us, how complicated and unreliable human's memories are. Including ourselves, the audience. We let the ((remarkable)) mixed-up reverse and present plot, messes up with our struggle to keep up to details that shows which one is the truth and which are not.
Watched this a second time recently, and it only gets better on repeat viewings. I absolutely love this film.
I can easily say this is now one of my favourite films of all time. Leonard is such a complex and interesting character and is performed fantastically by Guy Pierce.
The non-linear storytelling is implemented so well in the film and expertly makes you understand his character.
It's also one of those films that hasn't been spoilt by pop culture, which is refreshing. So often, major plot elements in movies become so iconic that you feel like you've seen the movie already without seeing it. Memento is one of those films that doesn't seem to fit that category. People seem to…
With every passing viewing I realize the noir tropes and the clever details that make each revisit more rewarding than the last.
The way the unusual structure is carried out is very impressive and the film deals with interesting subjects in a clever fashion. It also has a nice tempo and mood to it. A great movie.
Memento is a great psychological thriller. Nolan mastered his non linear vision that starting in Following. It’s the type of movie that you can rewatch every day & still notice something new. It’s a true mind f**k through and through.
