Acclaimed at film festivals like Toronto and Sundance, nominated for two Oscars in 2002, and a surprise hit in theaters (to the chagrin of several major distributors who thought it would be too confusing for most movie audiences), Memento is a remarkable thriller, glimpsed through the fragmented perception of Leonard (Guy Pearce), who seeks clues about his wife's murder even though his short-term memory has been damaged. He therefore must make Polaroid snapshots and tattoo himself with vital information that he knows he will forget—but can he even trust the notes he's left for himself? Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano costar as two people who may be helping him or using him. The story is revealed in alternating segments that move in forward and reverse chronological order, and was hailed by scientists like Esther M. Sternberg of the National Institute of Mental Health for being "close to a perfect exploration of the neurobiology of memory.... Memento is a movie for anyone interested in the workings of memory and, indeed, in what it is that makes our own reality."
