Memento. Channel 4. 11:05pm - 1:05am. This dazzling, highly original "anti-thriller" has a complex, jumbled narrative that, like the play and musical Merrily We Roll Along, moves backwards in time. Thus we begin with the climactic murder then regress through the events that led up to it. Matters are complicated by the fact that the killer (Guy Pearce) suffers from a rare form of amnesia, leaving him with no short-term memory. The mystery requires a lot of concentration, but the stunning final scene is ample reward. Not just an indulgence, the ingenious structure makes the point that memory, although unreliable, is what we depend upon for our sense of reality. We are not, however, likely to forget the name of writer/director Christopher Nolan, whose first film, the similar Following, signalled his brilliantly individual talent.



This is an AWESOME movie folks!

Without seeing it I already find it hard to understand the plot. Ok - If I see it at my local dvd rental place, I'll rent it.

that is a fantastic movie! my friend told me to rent it because it was sooo good, so i bought it! i figured it would kinda suck, but its amazing how everything fits together in it. its a unique way of doing a movie. guy pearce did an excellent job

my favorite part is when Leonard goes, "Okay what am I doing? ... Im chasing this guy." .. "Nope, he's chasing me."

I have this condition...
