“Leonard is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty, however, of locating his wife’s killer is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he’s going, or why,” reads the official synopsis.
Memento was written and directed by Nolan. It was based on a short story by his brother and frequent collaborator, Jonathan Nolan. The film was produced by Jennifer Todd and Suzanne Todd, with Aaron Ryder serving as an executive producer. The creative team also included associate producer Emma Thomas, casting director John Papsidera, director of photography Wally Pfister, editor Dody Dorn, composer David Julyan, production designer Patti Podesta, and costume designer Cindy Evans.
