Sylvia (Jessica Chastain) elää yksinkertaista rutiinielämää, missä arki jakautuu tyttären, työn ja AA-tapaamisten kesken. Lukion luokkakokuksen jälkeen häntä seuraa kotiin Saul (Peter Sarsgaard), joka kärsii alkavasta dementiasta. Heidän odottamaton kohtaamisensa avaa ovet sekä menneisyyteen että radikaalisti erilaiseen tulevaisuuteen. (Elävän kuvan keskus ELKE)

Memory is a small, intimate, deeply felt drama about two wounded souls who find love in each other. The character studies presented by the wonderful Jessica Chastain are always entertaining, but doubly so here. Her performance gave me goosebumps. Peter Sarsgaard is also excellent; you will feel the chemistry between them in their every touch. But the film didn’t have to end so quickly; the characters of the parents and the parallel with childhood could have been further developed, making Memory an even more intense and complex psycho-drama.

(KVIFF 2024) (Spoiler alert!) Memory is a remarkable archive of memories, knowledge, feelings and other ingredients. While Sylvia would prefer to forget some things from the past, Saul would certainly be glad for some memories. I thought the major plot twist would occur at the level of the Sylvie-Paul relationship, and I appreciate that it didn't. Michel Franco's Memory is an intimate, poignant drama about two wounded souls seeking to heal each other. And this time, I didn't even mind that the film's conclusion was rather abrubt at least I had something to think about.
