Following (Christopher Nolan)
Details
With The Odyssey in the wings, Regal has slipped Christopher Nolan's debut into theaters for a very limited run. This should be interesting and is a taut 70 minutes long! Enjoy on a big screen...unlikely you will get a second chance!
David Lynch made Eraserhead, Darren Aronofsky produced Pi, Roman Polanski crafted Knife in the Water, and Christopher Nolan delivered Following. What all these films have in common is that they are debut films of now established masters of cinema that, though all shot in an experimental style and on a budget, now also contain “signature” film styles of their respective directors.
Christopher Nolan’s debut Following introduces a lonely man with writing aspirations, “the Young Man” (Jeremy Theobald), who starts following random people just to know “where they go and what they do”. The Young Man’s “game” leads him to make the acquaintance of serial burglar Cobb (Alex Haw), who recruits him to do a series of eccentric raids on homes. As the partnership between the two men progresses so does the Young Man’s descent into an uncharted territory of voyeuristic deviance and crime, until into the picture comes one young woman, the Blond (Lucy Russell), who becomes more than just the new crime duo’s next victim. Shot in black-and-white and on location, but also on a very strict budget, Following is necessarily unrefined, but it already showed signs of one distinctive cinematic vision and the director’s trademark affinity for complex, non-linear narratives.
