Memento
2000 · TMDB 8.2
Directed by Christopher Nolan
Leonard Shelby is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty of locating his wife's killer, however, is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of short-term 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.
Why it matters
Pathé's UK release gained legendary status for its interactive menu designed as a psychiatric assessment. Navigating the hidden menu choices unlocked Christopher Nolan's secret chronological cut of the film.
