Srhljiv umor se na platnu odvrti v obratni smeri: proces razvijanja fotografije teče nazaj in ta se vrne v bliskajoč polaroidni fotoaparat; prelita kri steče nazaj v človeške žile in cev puške se odmakne od izkrivljenih ust. Prvi trenutki filma Memento, eksplozivnega novega trilerja Christopherja Nolana, so časovno prikazani v obratni smeri: kot prispodoba za utripanje časa skozi film; čas narašča in upada v ritmu potovanja človeka skozi kaos izgubljenega spomina. Nolan je napisal scenarij za film po kratki zgodbi svojega brata Jonathana. Memento govori o življenju, ki ga usmerjajo fotografije, mapa z dokumenti o preiskavi, na hitro zabeležena sporočila in tetovaže. Memento je pretresljiv in močan triler, v katerem igrajo Carrie-Anne Moss, Joe Pantoliano in Guy Pearce v vlogi Leonarda, človeka, ki se bori, da bi ponovno našel samega sebe med razbitimi delci preteklosti.
