Memento
Directed by Christopher Nolan
2000
★ 8.0 editorial score
Nolan told it backwards and the trick is not a trick: the reverse order strands you exactly where its amnesiac protagonist lives, knowing only the last five minutes.
“If Oliver Sacks wanted to write something in the style of Raymond Chandler, maybe Memento would be it: a complex thriller about time, memory and identity. Guy Pearce plays Leonard Shelby, a guy who wakes up every morning without knowing where he is, or why he's there. This is because of a mental condition caused by being hit on the head by an intruder. Now Leonard has become obsessed with his mission to catch this man.”
