Description
The Memory Thief is the story of Lukas - an aimless, young man in contemporary L.A. who buries thoughts of his own past in the humdrum routine of a tollbooth clerk. A chance encounter with a Holocaust survivor suddenly brings into focus a world and an identity he embraces with frightening intensity - the victimized Jews of World War II. As he begins to enthusiastically act out his newfound obsession, Lukas, a non-Jew, discovers that survivor’s guilt isn’t just for the Jews anymore. The Memory Thief, starring Mark Webber, is a mesmerizing, audacious psychological thriller in the tradition of Taxi Driver. (92m)
