Finally watched Memento. Wow. I really really really really really really enjoyed it, definetly a more juvenile film (not in the sense of the plot, or even it's shooting acting, just the feel of the film, there are lots of gags, cursing amongst other things that don't appear in Nolan's most recent work) which is understandable seeing as how it is Nolan's second feature film. I thought it was really great, unconventional and slightly puzzling story telling that complements the Leonard's predicament in the film. Made me think of how people see his films as puzzles and get put off by that. Nolan is not a direct or "simple" filmmaker but his films only take some will and attention for you to get them (long story short, THEY'RE NOT THAT FUCKING COMPLICATED). I do think the twist really gets you thinking and debating the way Lenny lives his life. It's not the most explosive twist (for this isn't Lost) but it's still great. Definetly among my "favourite films" list. A 4.5/5. Now I need to see Following and Insomnia.
