The most intelligent, the most innovative & the most original brain teaser of all time tht will have you guessing from the very beginning to the very end n even afterwards... thts what Memento is ... its no less than a jigsaw puzzle. The groundbreaking narrative style & impressive dramatic undertones makes this film an instant classic.
Memento is a psychological thriller starring Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby, a man who lost his short term memory in an assault and, despite his handicap, is looking for the person who, according to him, killed his wife n made him like this.
Director Christopher Nolan deserves kudos for presenting the film in such a unique way which was never-seen-before in cinema history. Nolan puts his viewers into the shoes of Leonard Shelby & runs the story in reverse order so that you never know more than Leonard does. Just like Leonard, you've no knowledge of what happened before.
The performance by the cast is impressive. The character of Leonard Shelby is very very well played by Guy Pearce. Carrie-Anne Moss n Joe Pantoliano give an equally mysterious n complex performances as Natalie n Teddy respectively. The direction is class apart. The editing is terrific n groundbreaking. Christopher Nolan is really an extremely talended film-maker & a much better storyteller (Following, Memento, Insomnia, The Prestige, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight proves it) & is simply the best director we have at present.
Classic, innovative, complex, exciting n entertaining movie of a lifetime... thts Memento for you. It will leave its own memento on your mind, & you'll have a hard time forgetting how much you enjoyed it while solving this puzzle on your own.
GET READY FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE TRIP INTO THE MIND OF A MAN WITH NO MEMORY.
