Remember is a Canadian drama directed by Atom Egoyan (The Captive). It screened in competition at the Venice Film Festival and played at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film stars Christopher Plummer, Martin Landau, Bruno Ganz, Jürgen Prochnow, Heinz Lieven, Dean Norris, and Henry Czerny.

Remember is the contemporary story of Zev, (Academy Award® Winner Christopher Plummer), 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 find the guilty man and deliver long- delayed justice with his own trembling hand. What follows is a remarkable cross- continent road-trip with surprising consequences.

“This is the last story that can be told about this period [in history] in our present day,” Egoyan says. “It’s a shockingly original story with a character unlike any we’ve ever seen. I’ve made 15 features, a few of them from scripts I haven’t written. But not only is this one completely original, I think what Ben August has presented speaks of our relationship to horror in such an extraordinarily unique way. It’s simple on one level, something easy to relate to, and yet, so full of layers and complexity.”

Remember is rated 14A.
