This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 2001 for the Japanese home‑video release of Memento (2000), Christopher Nolan’s breakthrough neo‑noir thriller starring Guy Pearce, Carrie‑Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano. Told in a daring reverse chronology, the film follows Leonard Shelby, a man with anterograde amnesia attempting to solve his wife’s murder using notes and tattoos. Memento was a critical sensation and established Nolan as a major modern filmmaker. I
Design
The design uses a high‑contrast black‑and‑white profile of Leonard’s tattooed torso and face against a white field, cropped so that his gaze leads off the right edge. Across his chest, the key tattoo “Find him and kill him” is clearly legible, underlining the film’s obsessive quest for vengeance. A bold red vertical logotype “MEMENTO” anchors the left border, broken into pixel‑like blocks that suggest fragmented memory. Japanese taglines run vertically in black, framing the image, while a small inset still of Nolan’s earlier film Following promotes a two‑title DVD box set. A black release‑date block “5.22 RELEASE DVD同時発売” at the bottom left makes this unmistakably a first‑issue video‑campaign piece.
