Memento Mori

About This Movie

Memento Mori is an intriguing blend of comedy and mystery that navigates the murky waters of memory and guilt. Daming wakes up confused, grappling with the aftermath of an accident, only to find a body in his closet—the corpse of Gao Yan, a character who wasn’t exactly loved by anyone, including Daming. The film plays with the absurdity of the situation, weaving humor into the tension. The pacing is deliberately uneven, reflecting Daming's fragmented mind, and the performances have this raw, palpable energy that pulls you in. It’s distinctive due to its off-kilter tone, where the comedic elements juxtapose the unfolding mystery, creating an atmosphere that’s both unsettling and oddly relatable. It’s not your typical whodunit; it’s more of a philosophical ride than anything.
