    Story Synopsis:
    Due to head trauma he sustained during a confrontation with an intruder who raped and murdered his wife, Leonard Shelby (Pearce) suffers from a rare brain disorder that prevents him from converting new experiences into long-term memory. His only way of moving forward in his life is to keep daily notes, label Polaroid photographs, and tattoo himelf with crucial reminders. Once he is able to absorb the terrible incident that ruined his life, Shelby sets out to piece together enough information for vengeance...despite a multi-layered abyss of uncertainty.

    Reason #59 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have read Widescreen Review for years because it has been the only magazine available to me that describes the benefits and options available to anyone interested in widescreen movie viewing. I have learned a lot about movies and their display options (including sound) from reading this magazine.
