Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending thriller movie is on TV tonight

Perfect prep ahead of The Odyssey hitting cinemas tomorrow.

The breakthrough film for legendary writer-director Christopher Nolan, its story follows Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce, The Brutalist), a former insurance investigator with short-term memory loss.

Despite being unable to retain new memories, he endeavours to track down the man who murdered his wife.

Memento was renowned upon release for its inventive narrative structure. Much of its story is told in reverse to mirror the mental state of the lead character.

Memento is airing on TV tonight on Film4 at 11.10pm. The thriller is also available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, and the Sky Store.
