Christopher Nolan’s Following

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Following (1998) Just finished watching this intriguing and artful neo-noir film (on the new tv nonetheless!). Shot in black and white on a handheld camera using natural lighting, Following is a tense study of voyeurism and theft of objects that possess material and immaterial value. The narrative winds about three different scams with the intersection of each teasing the viewer to speculate on impending double and triple crosses.

I’m certainly more interested in seeing some more of his work–I had seen Batman Begins and thought that was the right take on the character–in particular Insomnia and Memento both of which I have heard good things about.
