Perhaps I've told you about my... condition
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.
Leonard Shelby has a problem. He can't form new memories, so he lives his life in bursts of awareness lasting just a few minutes, before his mind is once again wiped clean. A debilitating enough condition, you'll agree, but a particular disadvantage if, like Leonard, you're trying to catch the man who brutally raped and murdered your wife and left you for dead.
Memento is one of the most original films of the last decade. The audience accompanies Leonard as he struggles to maintain the thread of his life as he closes in on the killer - or does he? With an ingenious combination of tattoos, post-it notes and polaroids, Leonard's investigation takes shape - but can he rely on anything he thinks he knows?
If you've only remember Guy Pearce in Neighbours (and let's face it, Mike & Jane were the thinking man's Kylie & Jason...), then this film, along with his turns in Priscilla and LA Confidential, will be a revelation. You'll get to the end of this film and watch it again - and still won't quite have figured it all out.
