ANGELIKA’S NOTE

A man with short-term memory loss attempts to track down his wife's murderer in master filmmaker Christopher Nolan's (TENET, DUNKIRK, INCEPTION) Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated film, rated an impressive 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. "I can't remember when a movie has seemed so clever, strangely affecting and slyly funny at the very same time," raves the Wall Street Journal. MEMENTO features an all-star cast including Golden Globe nominee Guy Pearce (L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, THE LAST VERMEER), Carrie-Ann Moss (THE MATRIX) and Joe Pantoliano (BAD BOYS).

SYNOPSIS

Leonard (Guy Pearce) is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty, however, of locating his wife’s killer is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of 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.

"I can't remember when a movie has seemed so clever, strangely affecting and slyly funny at the very same time."

Wall Street Journal

"You have to pay close attention to Memento, the most original thriller to come along in years -- and one of the best."

Orlando Sentinel

"The astonishing payoff takes the film to another level entirely, unleashing a battery of existential questions that shed new light on everything that precedes it."
