Memento is a neo-noir–psychological thriller film written and directed by Christopher Nolan (who went on to direct Insomnia and Batman Begins), based on his brother Jonathan's short story "Memento Mori."

The film stars Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby, a former insurance fraud investigator hunting for his wife's murderer. During the attack on his wife, Leonard suffered severe head trauma and lost the ability to make new memories. To cope with his condition, he keeps a collection of notes, photographs, and tattoos to remind himself of people, places, and events he cannot remember.

He is aided in his investigation by "Teddy" (Joe Pantoliano) and Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss), neither of whom Leonard is sure he can trust.

Good pick Michie.

what pick? who are you? how did i get here?

LOL!!!! Michie, that has to be one of my favorite comments, EVER!!!

excellent film ... i love the way it finally came together in the end!! brilliant!

To quote Family Guy (or was it American Dad?): It's not as good the second time.

definitely ..your sifting rather than letting it wash over you

I loved this movie! The short clips presented in reverse chronological order made an interesting short-term topic (Leonard's memory) into a very entertaining full-length movie. Definitely worth a rental!

Actually I though Memento got even better when I watched it a second and third time. I kept noticing little things I'd missed in the last viewing.

I love Memento, but I'm not sure what about the posting the trailer is getting it 25 votes.

Lord knows it has plenty of individual scenes much more deserving.

true theo47.

guess it just reminds people of the film overall. shows which sifters really like a particular film and most importantly gets into my film trailers playlist.

why not post some scenes?
