Christopher Nolan's "Memento" is an intricate thriller. Its protagonist Leonard (Guy Pearce), is a puzzle, even to himself. He sports the trappings of an expenisve lifestyle, yet lives in seedy motels and seems to be on a desperate mission of revenge to find the man who murdered his wife. Worse, Leonard suffers from a rare form of amnesia that plagues his short-term memory, so in order to keep track of his life, he must surround himself with written reminders, some of them etched onto his own flesh. In this state, Leonard finds that nothing is what it seems, and no one can easily be trusted. "Following" was Nolan's micro-budgeted debut feature. Bill (Jeremy Theobald), a lonely would-be writer, spends his considerable free time stalking strangers at random through the streets of London. This vicarious form of "research" takes an unexpected turn when Bill is caught out by one of his quarries: a suave cat burglar who introduces him to the art of breaking and entering. Soon Bill is striking up a liaison with a girl whose flat he has turned over. But Bill discovers too late that he is out of his depth.This volume includes both screenplays, along with an interview with Christopher Nolan and Jeremy Theobald in which they talk to James Mottram about the making of "Following", and a piece by Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan, author of the story on which "Memento" was based, in which they recall the conception of the film.
From ancient philosophy to Tristram Shandy and Buster Keaton movies, this book tells the engaging history of accident as an idea. An accidental glance at a newspaper notice causes Rousseau to collapse under the force of a vision. A car accidentally hits Giacometti, and he experiences an epiphany. Darwin introduces accident to the basic process of life, and Freud looks to accident as the expression of unconscious desire. Accident, Ross Hamilton claims, is the force that makes us modern. Tracing the story of accident from Aristotle to Buster Keaton and beyond, Hamiltons daring book revives the tradition of the grand history of ideas.Accident tells an original history of Western thought from the perspective of Aristotles remarkably durable categories of accident and substance. Throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages, Aristotles distinction underwrote an insistence on order and subordination of the inessential. In a groundbreaking innovation, Hamilton argues that after the Reformation, the concept of accident began to change places with that of substance: accident became a life-transforming event and effectively a persons essence. For moderns, it is the accidental, seemingly trivial moments of consciousness that, like Wordsworths spots of time, create constellations of meaning in our lives. Touching on a broad array of images and textsAugustine, Dante, the frescoes of Raphael, Descartes, Jane Austen, the work of the surrealists, and twentieth-century cinemaHamilton provides a new way to map the mutations of personal identity and subjectivity.
