Rememory

Sam Bloom (Peter Dinklage) and his brother are driving in the night when their car collides with another, causing his brother’s death. After a year, scientific pioneer Gordon Dunn (Martin Donovan) mysteriously dies. He has created a device that allows one to record memories and watch them. Bloom sets about trying to solve the murder using this memory machine. Bloom learns that Dunn’s device has a technical fault which causes recurring hallucinations for its users including him. Most of the users have been quite upset with Dunn, directly blaming him for their mental deterioration. He also finds out that Dunn and his wife Carolyn (Julia Ormond) were separated after they lost their only daughter in an accident. When Carolyn found Dunn’s memory recordings, Dunn committed suicide after realising his invention had caused nothing but pain and misery in the lives of the users. He does so by attempting to erase his ongoing memories while still connected to the device.
