Memento (2000)
I remember first seeing Memento, what a film, the use of editing and style is something that has been done since! Leonard suffers from short-term memory loss after being attacked by two men, the same men that raped and murdered his wife.
Before the memory of the attackers completely fades, Leonard explains to the police that there were, in fact, two attackers, but one got away while he killed the other. He has to find a way to unlock those lost memories, in order to track down the murderer of his late wife. However, the audience eventually discovers, that unfortunately with Leonard’s condition, he will never feel the satisfaction that retribution can bring. As the story unfolds, it becomes apparent to us, that he has in fact already found and killed the second attacker.
