Memento Mini Review

Memento

A Mini Review by Frederick Cholowski

 

    With Christopher Nolan Making a crap ton of money let's look back at their roots, Memento. Memento is about a man whose wife is raped and murdered. During this attack he loses his short term memory witch means that he can remember everything before the attack but can't form new memories. He remembers things by putting notes onto photos witch allows him to find out who to trust and who to not. Memento is presented backwards. With the movie starting at where the events end up and moves back to the beginning. The way it is edited into chunks of 3-8 minutes is genius and Chris Nolan is the star of this film with his editing and pacing. Memento is perfectly paced with awesome revelations when needed and the ending leaves you hanging yet satisfied. Memento is a great film and one of my favourite directors at his best.
