About this product

Product Information

MEMENTO, the second feature by writer-director Christopher Nolan (FOLLOWING), is an intricately constructed film noir that masterfully inverts time to comment on the foggy relationship between memory and truth. MEMENTO tells the story of Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce), a former insurance investigator who witnesses a brutal attack on his wife. Knocked unconscious, Leonard wakes up with a rare brain condition--he no longer possesses short-term memory. He can remember his name and all the details of his past, but he can no longer make new memories. Armed with a careful system of remembering details (he compulsively snaps Polaroids and scribbles notes, then tattoos the important facts directly onto his body), the distraught Leonard goes on a manhunt to avenge his wife's death. To illustrate the unique and frightening state of the protagonist's mind (he cannot remember what happened even seconds before), Nolan takes a brilliantly successful risk in telling the story backwards. The film begins with Leonard killing the man he's looking for. From there MEMENTO unravels a compellingly disconcerting trail back to the start. As the layers of the story are peeled back scene by scene, Leonard's involvement with two enigmatic "friends"--who both claim to be helping him--complicates the mystery.Based on a short story by the director's brother, Jonathan Nolan, MEMENTO is an incredibly original film that is so wonderfully puzzling and eerily ambiguous that it will surely warrant repeated viewings.

    It’s a lot

    I wasn’t sure I was going to make it through this movie. It rapidly jumps all over the place so you really have to be paying attention. It is repetitive so if you miss something you might catch it a couple scenes later. It grabbed me just enough to keep me watching. What I don’t like about it is that it leaves you hanging with a bunch of questions.

  • Memento (DVD, 2001)

    Leonard is an insurance investigator whose memory has been damaged following a head injury he sustained after intervening on his wife's murder. His quality of life has been severely hampered after this event, and he can now only live a comprehendable life by tattooing notes on himself and taking pictures of things with a Polaroid camera. The movie is told in forward flashes of events that are to come that compensate for his unreliable memory, during which he has liaisons with various complex characters. Leonard badly wants revenge for his wife's murder, but, as numerous characters explain, there may be little point if he won't remember it in order to provide closure for him. The movie veers between these future occurrences and a telephone conversation Leonard is having in his motel room in ...

  • Unique backwards progression - excellent film!

    'Memento' is simply an excellent film. Using a unique backwards progression chronologically, the story focuses on Leonard, an insurance investigator who is looking for the man who murdered his wife. Leonard has developed a condition that prevents him from making new memories. He has no short-term memory capacity. He can only remember his life before his wife died. As he learns new clues, he takes Polaroid pictures, writes them down, and tattoes them on his body. Traveling back in time, the movie puts us inside Leonard's head for a fascinating ride! Highly recommended - a must-see film.

  • Memories

    This is an imaginative recreation of film noir requiring one's full attention. It is thought provoking, not entertaining. Recommend Googling Memento reviews for viewing assistance. Great movie for group study of US cultural context. Film requires study; watch it several times to discover the many nuances.
