Memento
Memento is a story that plays out in reverse. This isn’t just a gimmick though, and instead the movie works beautifully by playing on this concept time and again. The story revolves around Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce), who has anterograde amnesia, which means that he can’t remember anything from before the age of 25. He is able to piece together his life by watching old tapes and photos, but when he is attacked and left for dead, he starts to piece together his past. The movie is full of twists and turns, as Leonard tries to figure out who attacked him and why. ..
The protagonist of the piece has a severe case of short term memory loss and as the movie progresses, we shift further backwards through time to uncover exactly what’s going on. With the end already known, it’s left up to us to work out why this incident has occurred.
Memento is a stunning achievement and an excellent movie well worth checking out. With black and white segments along with colour being used to show time played out in both directions, the film is visually stunning. ..

The tension in this movie is palpable from the get-go, and it only builds as the story progresses. The suspense is so great that you can’t help but feel like you’re in the thick of it. This movie is definitely a thriller, and it’s one that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good time.
