Memento (Nol-vember)

from We Drink & We Watch Things

Welcome to Nol-vember, where we dedicate the entire month to the mind-bending masterpieces of director Christopher Nolan! We're kicking things off with the early, groundbreaking film that put him on the map: "Memento (2000)." This isn't just a movie; it's a psychological experiment that places the audience directly into the disoriented mind of its protagonist, Leonard Shelby. We dive deep into the film's revolutionary non-linear structure told in two interwoven timelines. This structure forces us to question everything Leonard writes on his Polaroids, tattoos onto his body, and tells himself. Join us as we discuss his tattoos, the Sammy Jankis parallel, and what is his identity without memory. The film's core philosophical question is: If our memory is what makes us who we are, who is Leonard Shelby when his memory resets every few minutes? Prepare for a disorienting, exhilarating analysis of the film that cemented Christopher Nolan's reputation as a master of cinematic structure. This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!
