Memento
A masterpiece from Christopher Nolan
The Story
Leonard (Guy Pearce) is tracking down the man who
raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty, however, 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.
"Memento" is rated R for occasional strong profanity, violence (a
brutal beating, as well as some gunfire), graphic gore, use of crude
sexual slang terms, brief simulated drug use (crack cocaine) and
fleeting nudity.
