Before my memory fails

"Just because I don't remember what I did, it doesn't mean that my actions were meaningless". Paraphrased from Memento/Christopher Nolan/2000 (watched once again yesterday... just to realize that, as Leonard the main character, I had completely forgotten the plot of the movie). 

I also watched The Battle of Algiers/1966 (Gillo Pontecorvo). Excellent account of the Independence struggles of Algerians. Filmed just 3 years after the independence battle in documentary style b/w. I loved the soundtrack. 

A third movie: The Anatomy of Hell (Anatomie de l'enfer/2004) directed by Catherine Breillat(based on her own book by the same name). Very French... meaning: psychological, pseudo-intellectual, and with strong characters (especially the female ones - The Piano teacher-type of thing). Interesting to see nude Rocco Sifredi playing a non-porno role.
