Memento (2000)
This mind-bending thriller follows a man with short-term memory loss as he tries to track down his wife’s killer. The film’s narrative is unlike any other (we will not spoil), so it creates a sense of confusion that mirrors the main character’s mental state.
Memento’s structure was not only a creative decision but also an important narrative tool. It allows the audience to empathize with Leonard’s struggles and question the reliability of his recollections. Not only was this film widely praised, but it also influenced numerous films and TV shows.
