Memento

Memento’s chameleon narrative timeshifts between the nostalgic nightmares of Rebecca (Marg Hitcick), John’s (Mark Ruzylo) invasive investigations, and Richard’s (Scott Withers) idiosyncratic meditations about John and his film. Rebecca, troubled by an uncertain past and her obsessive filmmaking father, holds a yard sale to rid herself of his memory forever. John, a disgruntled filmmaker who works in a run-down film processing lab, tries to make his first feature by cutting together old footage he finds at yard sales. When he finds some disturbing reels in Rebecca’s garbage, he questions her and has the door slammed in his face.
