description Following Overview

Following is Christopher Nolans feature film debut, a low-budget neo-noir thriller shot on 16mm film. It tells the story of a young writer who begins following strangers, only to get drawn into a criminal underworld. Even in this early work, the seeds of Nolans later style are evident: the non-linear structure, the focus on obsession, and the dark, cynical tone. It is a fascinating look at the directors origins and a surprisingly effective mystery that proves great storytelling doesn't require a massive budget.
