Staring Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby the film is about a man with a goal, finding a killer. I’m not going to get into the specifics because due to the way the story is stitched together any attempt at sketching the outlines of the movie will spoil it. What is extremely interesting is the fact that despite an accident that left him with no short memory he devises an ingenious way of keeping track of his goals and information gathered along his search. The story’s complexity is given by the somewhat unorthodox manner in which it is constructed, information keeps being thrown at you and the viewer has to sort out the relevant information to the story because due to his condition the “hero” keeps getting sidetracked every 5 minutes. Pain, love, longing, and the pursuit of vengeance are what fuel the story and its tormented “hero”
A film that will draw your attention from the first to the last minutes brilliantly put together with twist and turns that won’t let you pause for anything Memento is definitely worth viewing.
