Synopsis

Remember is the contemporary story of Zev, who discovers that the Nazi guard who murdered his family some 70 years ago is living in America under an assumed identity. Despite the obvious challenges, Zev sets out on a mission to deliver long-delayed justice with his own trembling hand.

Our take

Featuring a terrific late-career performance from Christopher Plummer, this revenge-thriller from Canadian auteur Atom Egoyan is threaded with a Hitchcockian vein of dark comedy. Vibrantly atmospheric, and with an array of serpentine plot twists, Remember is a sharply-scripted genre firecracker.
