101 Films presents Christopher Nolan’s Memento. Released in 2000 after a lengthy quest for distribution, Christopher Nolan's landmark mind-bending thriller was released to universal acclaim receiving multiple Academy Award® nominations and has since gone on to become a cult classic. Following up his debut effort Following (1998) Nolan once again uses a meticulously crafted structure to place the audience inside the protagonist's mind. This time, like Leonard we can never truly tell friend from foe, as everyone around him seeks to manipulate his condition to their own ends, while he himself seeks the truth. The brilliance of Memento lies in its ability to show you something new and thrill with each viewing.
Leonard (Guy Pearce) suffers from a rare brain disorder - the inability to form any new memories.
He can remember in detail everything that happened before his injury, but anyone he has met or anything he has done since that fateful night simply vanishes. Who are his friends? Who are his enemies? What is the truth? In Leonard's world, the answers to these questions shift and change from second to second. And the more he tries to figure out what is true and real, the deeper he sinks into a multi-layered abyss of uncertainty and surprises.

Worth every penny
I've always felt this is such an underrated Nolan movie - everytime I watch it I love how many details I've missed! The extras with this set really add to it too, all of the props are really well made and look authentic. Very impressed with how this came!

Memento
If this was a review simply for the film it would have 3 stars, and just for the packaging 5 stars - hence the average of 4 stars for this release. What lets the film down is that it is just too difficult to follow, with the jumps backwards and forwards in the action sequences. Also the use of stronger leading actors could have helped. If you are a Christopher Nolan fan, stick with Interstellar and Inception.

Christopher Nolan's Best Film in a Great Collectible Set!
Twenty three years ago, Christopher Nolan wrote and directed his second feature film - and in my opinion, it's the best film he's ever made. "Memento" tells the story of Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce), former insurance investigator, now a broken man searching for his wife's killer. But a head injury means that Leonard can't make new memories - everything fades after a few minutes... quite the handicap when you're trying to collect evidence and follow clues. So Leonard takes Polaroids of anything important, writes himself lots of notes and even tattoos important clues on his own body - he has to trust his own process. But how trustworthy are the people around him - people like Teddy (Joe Pantoliano) and Natalie (Carrie Ann Moss)? And how much can Leonard actually trust himself? "Memento's" neo-noir story is told episodically but backwards, with the beginning of each scene being the end of the scene that follows it. In this way we experience the events of the story as Leonard does - with no idea how he got there or what's going on. It's a bold narrative conceit and it makes what would otherwise be a fairly straightforward story challenging and intriguing to follow. 101 Films has done an exemplary job with this special bluray release. There's the hardshell box and steelbook with brand new artwork, the film with a series of newly created featurettes on one bluray and the previously released featurettes on another, a perfect-bound book containing an essay on the film by James Mottram, Jonathan Nolan's short story and inspiration for the film "Memento Mori" in its own booklet and an envelope full of replica notes and Polaroid images as seen in the film. The latter is a nice touch and really elevates the set into collectible territory. About the only downside to the package is that the steelbook case only supports a single disc so the second bluray with the archive special fetaures has to come in a separate envelope (albeit one styled to look like one of Leonard's manilla folders). The film itself looks great with nicely rolled-off shadows and the muted palette of the original negative preserved. There's a patina of fine grain from the relatively cheap film stock the movie was shot on, but it's a nice grain and it gives the film a texture that aggressive noise reduction might have destroyed. The sound is crisp and clean and balanced well across the surround mix. "Memento" is a modern classic and even though Nolan has gone on to direct more elaborate and, dare I say it, pretentious fare, this film is by far my favourite of his movies and this limited edition bluray is the perfect way to have it on my shelf.
