“Memento” is a gripping neo-noir psychological thriller that follows the journey of Leonard Shelby, a man struggling with anterograde amnesia, a condition that prevents him from forming new memories.

After a traumatic event, Leonard has lost his ability to create new memories, leaving him trapped in a fragmented past. He relies on photographs, notes, and tattoos to piece together clues about his wife’s murder, relentlessly pursuing the killer in a desperate search for vengeance.

The film unfolds in reverse chronology, beginning with Leonard’s present and moving backward in time, reflecting his fractured memory and his attempts to reconstruct the events leading up to his wife’s death. Leonard’s journey is filled with paranoia, suspicion, and a relentless search for truth, as he navigates a world where he can’t trust his mind.

“Memento” is a unique and unsettling film that challenges viewers to question the nature of memory, identity, and the boundaries of reality. It explores the themes of revenge, guilt, and the human capacity for self-deception, forcing audiences to confront the fragility of our memories and the precariousness of our perception of the world.
