Details

Leonard Shelby is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty of locating his wife's killer, however, is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of short-term memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he's going, or why.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
bobk-80386 You have to watch this movie very patienty, becasuse each detail has its meaning, actors's play is good and perfect editing as for me makes this movie one of the best in the world. 100% watch, but only if you have already watched some other movies and its not one of the first movies you have ever watched.
lidieth-arevalo Let me begin by saying that this is, without a doubt, one of my top 5 favorite films of all times! This film deserves to be watched at least 2-3 times to fully comprehend the story and to truly appreciate the master piece this film really is.Imagine yourself in a tragic situation where you and a loved one are involved in a car accident, the other person dies immediately from the impact of the crash, and you survive but suffer serious brain injuries that affects the functionality of an essential part of your brain where all the short term-memories are stored; Moreover, due to your brain injury you are diagnosed with Anterograde Amnesia, which means that you lose the ability to create new memories, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact. Furthermore, let's suppose that the last thing you fully remember is witnessing your loved one die in the accident, and everything else you experience in your present life fades away during your sleep every night or within short periods of time. In such hypothetical situation, how can you heal your grief if you can't feel the passage of time? How can you heal if the most recent and profound memory you have is of your loved one dying? How can you find meaning and purpose in your new life if you cannot retain new feelings, memories, and experiences to reflect upon tomorrow or the future? It's a tough situation to imagine yourself in, isn't it? This is the philosophical theme that Memento (2001) presents in a unique multilayered storyline in which the past and the present collide, and just like the main character, the audience questions what is real and what is not.I highly recommend this film! One of my all time favorites.
Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Memento (2000)' may seem somewhat pedestrian when viewed in the 'right order' as opposed to the way it is actually presented, in reverse, but even then it stands up as a nuanced character study. Its backwards nature is a clever conceit that's more than just a gimmick, though. It's woven into the very nature of the narrative and, as such, one should not be presented without the other. It also comes as a natural extension to the main character, allowing for plenty of unique moments that challenge audience perception. This is essentially the piece's mission statement and it achieves it in full. The character's are beautifully realised, with the protagonist's inner journey coming full circle just as the movie itself does so. 8/10
