Guy Pearce stars as Leonard Shelby, a man unable to form new memories after the attack that killed his wife. Determined to find those responsible, he relies on Polaroids, handwritten notes and tattoos across his body to track clues he cannot retain. But with Natalie and Teddy circling his fragile investigation, Leonard must ask who can be trusted — including himself.

Rialto Recommends MEMENTO is a masterclass in fractured storytelling: a noir puzzle built from grief, revenge and unreliable memory. Christopher Nolan places us inside Leonard’s broken perception, where every clue feels urgent and every truth may be another trap. Ingenious, tense and still thrillingly original, it is modern psychological cinema at its sharpest.
