Memento (2000)
Country: US
Technical: FotoKem/Panavision 113m
Director: Christopher Nolan
Cast: Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss, Joe Pantoliano, Mark Boone Junior, Stephen Tobolowsky
Synopsis:
An insurance investigator suffering from short-term memory loss seeks his wife's killer with the help of a cop and a barmaid. We see the events in reverse order after his quest has concluded, or has it?
Review:
One of those cinema firsts which can so often be mere gimmicks, this is both technically and philosophically absorbing. The complex structure keeps the viewer guessing as conventional narrative never would, given the hero's handicap, and the subject matter is examined for all its psychological implications. Whether the hero is pawn or homicidal menace is left open to interpretation, a rare feature in an American movie.
