Nitehawk’s July FILM FEAST features Memento with an inspired menu by Guest Chef Carla Hall (Co-host of ABC Television Network’s “The Chew,” competitor and Fan Favorite on Bravo’s “Top Chef,” and owner of Carla Hall Petit Cookies).

NITEHAWK CINEMA Presents: MEMENTO Film Feast
Featuring Guest Chef Carla Hall

The last thing that Leonard remembers is the death of his wife but, without the capability to remember or to create new memories, he is blindly searching for the truth and no amount of post-it notes, letters, or tattoos can satisfy his knowledge permanently. Christopher Nolan’s mind-twisting/who-can-you-trust Memento features the two lives of Leonard (pre and post memory loss) and the two intersect somewhere in the middle. Through this, the audience discoveries not only the truth but the painful awareness that it’s something unattainable for Leonard. Let’s just say personal history is doomed to repeat itself.

On selecting this film, Carla said, “I like movies that are clever and make you think. Memento definitely fits the bill. I chose a menu that is loosely based on the idea of the movie, but it also makes you think.”
