Columbia Tristar
So you’ve seen “Insomnia,” director
Christopher Nolan’s emotional tale of corruption starring Al
Pacino, and “Memento,” Nolan’s virtuoso film
about the fragile nature of memory and identity. But even before
those, Nolan created his first film, “Following.”
“Following” is about Bill’s obsession with
following strangers until Cobb, a thief, catches him and turns him
into his protégé. It is tense, shocking, and about as
low-budget indie as you can get. Besides that, it helped define the
current neo-noir film movement.
