A growing obsession with the Holocaust exacerbates the mental breakdown of a lonely tollbooth operator.
Leave your thoughts about The Memory Thief.
| Film-Forward.comNora Lee MandelA thoughtful, creative, and disturbing way to treat the numbness of Holocaust and genocide fatigue, through striking images of a man's bizarre transformation and obsession. |
| Village VoiceVadim RizovThe film is (perhaps deliberately) as unbalanced as its protagonist, one whose fury ultimately seems directed either nowhere in particular or in too many directions at once -- until things eventually devolve into a Taxi Driver riff. |
| Chicago TribuneMaureen M. HartTragedy and closure, memory and truth are the subjects of writer/director Gil Kofman's first narrative feature. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA Holocaust movie with quite an original twist--about a tollbooth collector who imagines himself to be a survivor of Nazi horrors. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyA cracking police procedural from Belgian director Erik van Looy, has a jaw-dropping premise so smartly executed that if this movie weren't in Flemish I'd swear that Michael Mann had directed it. |
| TV GuideKen FoxWhile the film tends to talk over itself in its attempt to say all it needs to say on the subject, his film's uncompromisingly bleak vision is a bracing alternative. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisIn The Memory Thief, a strange and melancholy journey to the heart of madness, a rootless young man finds meaning in the horrors of a stolen past. |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenDirector Erik Van Looy has filmmaking chops to spare, and while he has created a sharply shot and crisply paced film, he isn't able to make it all cohere. |
| User ReviewBo BThe most weird, interesting, disturbing, fascinating, crazy, painful, original, and nutty movie I've ever seen; not to mention the brilliant acting job by Mark Webber. Expect something totally different from whatever it is you are expecting; The Memory Thief will surprise you. |
| User ReviewGreg WA very intense depiction of a young man's life unraveling. Meanwhile he's attached himself to the stories of Holocaust Survivors. A very dark film. Don't get me wrong: I liked it, I'm just warning you. |
