Memento (DVD, 2002, Limited Edition 2-Disc Set)

This "fantastic noir"(title) is shown in the same fashion as the main character's memory. After his wife is raped and killed by John G, he is injured and develops a condition where he is unable to create new memories from the time of the event. It shows his new memories in short segments and then flashes back to the previous memory. Thus, the movie is essentially shown in reverse. This ploy raises the film from a great thriller, to a brilliant film experience. This DVD version of the film is absolutely brilliant, presented as his psychological profile. The discs menu's are by far the greatest use of a menu I have ever seen in a DVD, needing to solve puzzles, and playing with your memory to figure out which buttons go to which pages. Usually selling at media stores for over $25, I was able to snag on on eBay for $6.95, easily the greatest eBay find this year for me. Excelent movie, excellent purchase.
