Memento
Christopher Nolan, 2001
A man with blonde spiky hair holds up a Polaroid photograph.
This Christopher Nolan thriller stands out for its ingenious structure: starting at the story’s end and backtracking scene by scene. The disjointed narrative gives us a taste of what life is like for Leonard (Guy Pearce), who can’t store short-term memories and who tattoos his body with clues about his wife’s murder. It’s a clever puzzle, but what makes “Memento” unforgettable is what it says about identity and the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, right up to its rug-pull of an ending — er, beginning.
