Memories in memory

From the moment Matthew (Josh Harnett) sees Lisa (Diane Kruger), nothing makes sense anymore. Matthew, who works in Chicago, happened to see Lisa passing by from outside the shop window and was immediately attracted. He chased her, made their encounter, and soon the two fell in love. Everything seemed so perfect, until one day she suddenly disappeared without a trace. Two years later, the heartbroken Matthew finally had a new life of his own, but the pain in the memory and the unanswered loss kept tormenting him. A quick glance at the bar seemed to see the familiar figure again... However, it was also true and illusion. At this time, Matthew, who had already had his fiancée, was once again lost in memory. He sought the help of a good friend to find the woman who looked very much like Lisa. Matthew's investigation did not lead to nothing, but each discovery meant more deception, and he fell deeper unknowingly. This film is an English remake of the French film "Very Apartment". The original film won the British Academy Award and the British Independent Film Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1996.

Wicker Park quotes

  • [Alex finally tells Matthew the truth]

    Matthew: You knew she was here the whole time?

    Alex: [Alex reaches into her bag and grabs the envelop she was suppose to give to Matthew two years earlier] This belongs to you. It's from her.

    Lisa: [Lisa's words in the letter] Matt, please don't think that I'm running away from you. I was so overwhelmed when you asked me to move in, I couldn't speak. My answer, of course, is yes. I love you, and can't wait to come home.

    Alex: [Alex in tears] I'm not going to apologize for what I've done. This is for me to live with now. Now you see me for who I am.

    Matthew: Yes, I do.

  • [Matthew leaves off in a rush just before Luke returns back to Alex at the table]

    Luke: That guy. He's, um... More drama than a Mexican soap opera.

    Alex: Luke! This... This is over.

    Luke: What's over?

    Alex: Us.

    Luke: How can it be over? We haven't even started yet.

    Alex: I'm not who you think I am. I used you.

    [Alex leaves Luke there by himself]
