The film that put Christopher Nolan on the map is now being re-released in restored 4K and Dolby Vision, allowing you to watch or rewatch it in a quality closer to the original.
Christopher Nolan is currently promoting The Odyssey, but over the years he has made a string of acclaimed films.
One of the films that is often forgotten when talking about Nolan is Memento, starring Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby, who suffers from memory loss. The film was released in 2000 and was Nolan's international breakthrough, not least because of its distinctive nonlinear narrative structure, which has since become one of Nolan's trademarks. The film cost just $5 million to produce.
Nolan went on to release Insomnia in 2002 and Batman Begins in 2005.

Restored in 4K
The 4K restoration of Memento was carried out in collaboration with Nolan, according to Australian distributor Umbrella, which has confirmed the news. The film will also be available in HDR, including Dolby Vision.
- "Memento is coming soon to a 4K Collector's Edition and Standard Edition from Umbrella's exclusive new director-approved Dolby Vision restoration! This week marks a year since we first announced the restoration. In this time, we have worked closely with Christopher Nolan and his team to perfect the master." Umbrella writes.
It has not been disclosed whether the restoration was sourced from the original film negative.
The exact date for the UHD Blu-ray has yet to be announced, and there are currently no details about a streaming debut.
