Memento (2000)

IN ATTENDANCE: STEPHEN TOBOLOWSKY

A landmark film from acclaimed director Christopher Nolan, Memento is a mind-bending thriller whose mesmerizing power grows with every viewing. Guy Pearce stars as Leonard, a man with a bizarre disorder: the inability to form new memories. Ever since that fateful night when his wife was murdered, anyone Leonard has met, or anything he has done, simply vanishes from his mind. Who are his friends? Who are his enemies? What is the truth? The answers change from second to second as Leonard seeks vengeance for his wife’s M**der… and sinks into an abyss of uncertainty and danger. The film also stars Carrie Anne Moss, Joe Pantoliano, Mark Boone, Jorja Fox, Harriet Sansom Harris and Stephen Tobolowsky. 113mins.
