"I've told you this before, haven't I?" Maybe not, but Memento will blow your mind. This absolute masterpiece of moviemaking has caused quite a stir in the entertainment community. Memento begins where the movie ends, taking you back, step by step, in the life of the mysterious Leonard (Guy Pierce), a man with no short-term memory. Leonard faces the daunting task of tracking down a person who has wronged him, while incapable of remembering events that occurred only moments ago. He must write dozens and dozens of notes to aid his memory, and is tattooed with eerie facts and clues about his terrible mystery.

Moviegoers will feel as if they are LIVING this movie, seeing events as Leonard does, with no recollection or knowledge of how they got there. They will experience the paranoia of forgetting people they just met and the frustration of putting together a puzzle in which they keep losing pieces. The audience will find it impossible to trust anyone or anything, and will often find themselves lost in a plot thick with intrigue and elusiveness. Obviously, Memento is not an easy movie to watch. Be prepared for a challenge. Be prepared to be confused and baffled like never before. And if you've come to the realization that Hollywood has been missing a challenging and intelligent movie for quite some time, be prepared for Memento.

An amazing site for an amazing movie...
