SUMMARY

Within a short space of time, the film Memento has already been hailed as a modern classic. Memorably narrated from the perspective of the heavily tattooed Leonard, the film's central character, it explores his chaotic and visceral quest to discover his identity, and the identity of his wife's killers, despite his inability to form new long-term memories.This is the first book to explore and address the myriad philosophical questions raised by the film, including personal identity, free will, memory, knowledge, and action. It also explores problems raised by the film for aesthetics, such as narrative structure, ontology and genre. Beginning with a helpful introduction that places the film in context, specially commissioned chapters examine the following topics:Memory, emotion and self-consciousnessAgency, free will and responsibilityPersonal identityNarrative and popular cinemaFilm genre such as neo-noirMemento and multimediaIncluding annotated further reading at the end of each chapter, Memento is essential reading for students interested in philosophy and film studies.Kania, Andrew is the author of 'Christopher Nolan's Memento', published 2009 under ISBN 9780415774741 and ISBN 0415774748.
