Review of The Memory Thief (2007) by Scott J — 13 May 2008
[font=arial][size=-1] [b]ambitious premise, but painful to watch[/b][/size][/font].
[font=arial][size=-1] The main character, Lukas, works as a highway toll booth person, and develops a curiosity in the holocaust after an encounter with a survivor who passes through his lane. This curiosity quickly turns psychotic, as he becomes feverishly addicted to the stories of holocaust survivors.
The movie is made all the more excruciating to watch by the flatness of Lukas's character. The source of his original trauma presumably being re-enacted is suggested, but never unpacked making his character rather superficial.[/size][/font].
