036 Christopher Nolan: Memento (2000)

Published: July 23, 2018, 4:01 a.m.

Just two short years after the promising (but somewhat underwhelming) Following, Christopher Nolan released Memento, a masterpiece of a film and possibly the best movie he's ever made. Toying with narrative structure in the way he did in Following -- but with far more panache -- Memento is a wild ride through the mind of a man with no short-term memory who constantly finds himself unsure who he can trust.
