Memento & Fight Club
Out Now
Synopsis
Memento
From director Christopher Nolan, a unique and intriguing thriller
that begins with the ultimate act of revenge and back tracks
through time to reveal the shocking and provocative reasons behind
it.
Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) remembers everything up to the night
his wife was brutally raped and murdered. But since that tragedy,
he has suffered from short-term memory loss and cannot recall any
event, the places he has visited or anyone he has met just minutes
before.
Determined to find out why his wife was killed, the only way he can
store evidence is on scraps of paper, by taking Polaroid photos and
tattooing vital clues on his body.
Throughout his investigation, he appears to have the help of both
bartender Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss), who may have her own secret
agenda and police officer Teddy (Joe Pantoliano) whose friendship
is always suspect.
As Shelby's fractured memory tries to piece together a chilling
jigsaw of deceit and betrayal in reverse, breathtaking twists and
surprising turns rapidly occur in the most challenging, original
and critically acclaimed thriller in years.
Fight
Club
Brad Pitt (Seven, Mr & Mrs Smith) and Edward Norton (Kingdom of
Heaven, The 25th Hour) deliver knockout performances in this
stunningly original, darkly comic film from David Fincher, the
director of Seven.
Norton stars as Jack, a chronic insomniac desperate to escape his
excruciatingly boring life. That's when he meets Tyler Durden
(Pitt), a charismatic soap salesman with a twisted philosophy.
Tyler believes self-improvement is for the weak - it's
self-destruction that really makes life worth living. Before long,
Jack and Tyler form a secret Fight Club that becomes wildly
successful. But there's a shocking surprise waiting for Jack that
will change everything...
