Memento

A man suffering short-term memory loss tries to track down his wife's killer in Christopher Nolan's dazzling investigation into the tangled relationships between time, storytelling, memory and identity.

Without memory or a sense of the continuity of time, our grasp of who we are, and of what's happened and why, crumbles away. Nolan's ingenious mystery thriller, about a man who's suffering short-term memory loss trying to track down his wife's killer, reflects its protagonist's perception of events with a narrative consisting of brief linear fragments assembled in reverse chronological order. A dazzling investigation of the tangled relationships between time, storytelling, memory and identity.
