I know that this film will not to be to everybody's taste but I personally thought it was one of the best films of the last 12 months. It's the kind of film you probably won't fully understand the first time round so I'm glad that I have the opportunity to see it again at the Alhambra.

Screening Notes

Guy Pearce (LA Confidential, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Neighbours) plays Leonard Shelby, a former insurance investigator now dedicated to revenging the rape and murder of his wife. A head injury has reduced his short-term memory span, so all new information has to be noted down, photographed or even inscribed on his body, as he perpetually attempts to re-assemble what has just happened to him in order to move his investigation forward.
