Memento is a 2000 American neo-noir psychological thriller film written for the screen and directed by Christopher Nolan, based on the 2001 short story "Memento Mori" by his brother, Jonathan Nolan. The film stars Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Joe Pantoliano. It follows Leonard Shelby (Pearce), a man who has anterograde amnesia—resulting in the inability to form new long-term memories—and uses an elaborate system of photographs, handwritten notes, and tattoos sprawled across his body in an attempt to uncover the perpetrator who killed his wife and caused him to sustain the condition.
Directed by Christopher Nolan

“Your life is over. You're a dead man. The only thing the doctors are hoping to do is teach you to be less of a burden to the orderlies. And they'll probably never let you go home, wherever that would be. So the question is not "to be or not to be," because you aren't. The question is whether you want to do something about it.”
