Jonathan Nolan’s short story “Memento Mori” formed the basis
for his brother Christopher Nolan’s MEMENTO--a film that came out
prior the story it was adapted from! Learn how that came to pass
and more in this discussion of some of the early work of the iconic
Nolan Brothers. The film stars Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss, and
Joe Pantoliano.
Topics include: the neo-noir influence on the film, structure meets
story, how memory informs identity, deliberately confusing an
audience, what’s the truth about Sammy Jankis, the meaning behind
some hidden frames, and why we need mirrors to remind ourselves who
we are.
