Have you ever imagined seeing a movie from the culmination to the first reel ???
Memento gives you an exhilarating thriller keeping the audience dumbfounded( confused too !) from end to start in this Reverse Chronological Drama ...
Though the movie came out in the year 2000 , I was fortunate to see it recently on a DVD and was instantly caught in a LABYRINTH.
The protagonist (superlative Guy Pearce) suffers from short term memory loss and is in deep inner turmoil to search for his Wife's Murderer.
To deal with the disorder , he uses tools like Polaroid Camera ,Tattoos,Paper Slips,Notes enabling him to hold on to memories !!!
Christopher Nolan's unique, non-linear , noir-narrative structuring ( black n white film reels) IRRITATES,SHOCKS,SPELLBINDS to say the least.
The performances are ex·tra·or·di·naire and the scripting prowess is proven to the hilt...
No surprises its in top 30 of all time movie list ....
DO NOT MISS THIS ONE EVEN FOR YOUR LIFE :) :)
Rating : 5.0/5.0

well.. saw it around 2 years back... and was baffled... had to restart after seeing half of it because started understanding after that only... :)
awesome movie - no doubt abt it
Saw it with a friend .... was dumbfounded by the way the direction was done and was so confused I had to keep discussing it with my friend to reach to a conclusion about who the killer was .... am still not sure though .... no doubt the direction was superb leaving no loop-holes ( atleast no loop-holes which I could detect with confidence ) , but , the same left me rather confused and bedazzled .... so , I , personally , did not like the movie and was a little dissapointed ....
