Summary

Paul and Amy piece together their memories to unravel Memento, the thought provoking thriller that announced the arrival of one of the 21st century’s most visionary filmmakers. They dive into some big questions that the film presents: Can we really trust our own memories? How do we shape the way others see us? And what stories do we tell ourselves to make sense of our lives?
