- Memento
- Saturday, May 17, 2008, 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Join film lecturer Michael McGonigle for his lecture "What Is Film Editing?", followed by a screening of the curious and disturbing thriller Memento, directed by Christopher Nolan (2000, 113 minutes; rated R). Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce), a former insurance investigator, is seeking revenge on the man who killed his wife and left him with a brain disability that robs him of his short-term memory. Relying on Polaroid snapshots, copious hand-written notes, and self-inflicted body tattoos, Leonard slowly tries to solve the crime, but even if he gets his revenge, he won't remember it.

Marie Drillon (Charlotte Rampling) is a college professor married for 25 years to Jean (Bruno Cremer). On their usual holiday by the sea, Jean goes for a quick swim and never returns. Did he drown? Did he simply walk away? Marie has no idea. This film gives an unsentimental look at how Marie deals with her loss and her subsequent attempts to get back into life.
