"We loved the screenplay and the director is very talented," Tanja Meissner (Memento) told Cineuropa. "We are showing a promo reel at the AFM. The film, more of a thriller with fantastical elements, slots in perfectly with our editorial line that includes great auteurs, films exploring the frontiers between genres, and young talents."
Two other films also stand out in Memento's line-up in Santa Monica: Oscar-winning Iranian director Asghar Farhadi's new film that is currently shooting in France (read more) and Agnès Jaoui's Under The Rainbow (currently in post-production - news).
