Memento (2001) – Receiving Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing, and the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival, Memento is a neo-noir psychological thriller starring Guy Pearce as a man tracking down the assailant who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty of locating his wife’s killer is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he’s going, or why. Starring Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano.
