Mr. Nobody is a 2009
science fiction drama film. It was written and directed by
Jaco Van Dormael, produced by
Philippe Godeau, and starred
Jared Leto,
Sarah Polley,
Diane Kruger,
Linh Dan Pham,
Rhys Ifans,
Natasha Little,
Toby Regbo and
Juno Temple. The film tells the life story of Nemo Nobody, a 118-year-old man who is the last mortal on Earth after the human race has achieved quasi-immortality. Nemo, memory fading, refers to his three main loves and to his parents' divorce and subsequent hardships endured at three critical junctions in his life: at age nine, fifteen, and thirty-four. Alternate life paths branching out from each of those critical junctions are examined. The speculative narrative often changes course with the flick of a different possible decision at each of those ages. The film uses
nonlinear narrative and the
many-worlds interpretation style.
