Christopher Nolan (“Batman Begins”, “Inception”) directs “Memento”, a film so narratively strange that you come to the conclusion that the director must be really crazy or really brave. This is an excellent film that reinvents the way you think about how a story can unfold.

Guy Pearce (“Iron Man 3”, “The Hurt Locker”) is Leonard and he suffers from short-term memory loss so has photographs, notes and tattoos to help him. He’s searching for the man that killed his wife but rather interestingly, the film goes in a reverse order where we start with the last scene and work our way back to uncover the truth to find the man responsible.

Guy Pearce does a good job as Leonard. You come to really sympathise with his condition as he can be in the middle of any situation when his mind suddenly resets without any knowledge of how he got where he was. Do not mistake Leonard problem for a normal form of amnesia because he can remember his name, his wife and everything prior to the accident. Carrie-Anne Moss (“Disturbia”) plays Natalie and the characters becomes increasingly interesting as the film goes on. Joe Pantoliano (“The Fugitive”) plays Teddy, who is also an intriguing character.

“Memento” is sort-of like watching “The Fugitive” with the memory loss aspect altering the whole shape of the film. The movie is unique in the way that approaches the story and that’s what made me fall in love with it; we see scenes where Leonard interacts with people and then we rewind to find out how these interactions came about and they are often very surprising. “Memento” is a truly wonderful movie, especially those that really love the art of film and want to see something bold, something that will show them a new trick or two.
