Programme Information
Leonard (Guy Pearce) is an insurance investigator, who's memory has been damaged following a head injury he sustained after intervening on his wife's murder.
His quality of life now has been severely hampered after this event, and he can now only live a comprehendable life by tattooing notes on himself, and taking pictures of things with a Polaroid camera.
This story is told in forward flashes of events that are to come that compensate for his unreliable memory, during which he has liaisons with various complex characters.
Leonard badly wants revenge for his wife's murder, but, as numourous characters explain, there may be little point if he won't remember it in order to provide a satisfying feel to him.
We meet the loquacious Teddy (Joe Pantoliano) and the seductive Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss) who is a barmaid who promises to help.
We also glimpse Leonard's wife through memories from before the assault. Leonard also talks about Sammy Jankis, a man he knew with a similar condition. Has Leonard found the killer? What's going on?
