[School of Movies 2024]
Kicking off Nolan-Vember with a tale of obsession, revenge and the untrustworthy, ephemeral nature of memory. Things play out in nonlinear fashion as Nolan executes his second film with the deft surety of a man who can see the final arrangement within all the misaligned frames.
Guy Pearce plays Leonard Shelby, a man afflicted with a rare brain disorder that resets his short-term memory every five to ten minutes or so, with his mid and long-term memories almost completely blank, following a terrible tragedy.
For those of you feeling alone and scared right now, we will do our very best to keep on making utterly engrossing podcasts over the next few hard years. Whatever helps listeners get through the goddamn day is a job well done.
