Christopher Nolan's Breakout Thriller Memento Lands on HBO Max 26 Years Later

Memento, Christopher Nolan’s breakout psychological thriller, arrives on HBO Max starting today.

The film stars Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano. Pearce plays Leonard Shelby, a man living with anterograde amnesia who uses tattoos, photos and notes to piece together his reality while hunting the person he believes murdered his wife.

Memento was Nolan’s second feature and a collaboration with his brother Jonathan Nolan. Its intense, puzzle-driven approach helped define the director’s appetite for thrill and informed later work ranging from The Dark Knight to Inception, Tenet and Interstellar.

Release date: October 11, 2000. Runtime: 113 minutes. Director: Christopher Nolan. Writers: Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan. Producers: Jennifer Todd, Suzanne Todd, Natalie Leonard.
