Description:
An unemployed aspiring 'writer' Bill (Jeremy Theobald) has a peculiar hobby, shadowing strangers at random in the streets of London. When Cobb (Alex Haw), a man Bill has been following, catches him in the act, Bill is drawn into Cobb's world of breaking into flats and prying into the personal lives of their victims. In Bob, Bill finds a strange companion - part mentor, part confessor and part evil twin. With an ingenious structure that involves flash forwards and doubling back, the film tests our knowledge and understanding just as the protagonist is being duped into an elaborate triple-cross. 'Following' heralded Christopher Nolan as a promising new talent whose promise was amply confirmed with 'Memento.'
Amazon.com:
Creepy intimacy, plenty of suspense, and a few surprises enliven this black-and-white treat from the director of Memento. Bill is a struggling writer who fills his time and mind by following random strangers he sees on the street. After breaking his own rule ('never follow the same person twice') he becomes fascinated by Cobb, a voyeur who takes things one step further--actually breaking into people's homes to sift through their things. As you might expect, the relationship soon becomes unhealthy. Writer-director Christopher Nolan already reveals a sure hand in this early neo-noir work. Like Memento, Following toys with timelines, jumping back and forth and carefully dropping bits of information exactly when they're needed. Short and sharp, Following features an intriguing plot line and fine, understated performances by the entire cast. Don't miss it. --Ali Davis

The first film of mastermind director, Christopher Nolan (Dark knight, memento), it's simply BRILLIANT the way he puts together this dark puzzle. The movie plays in chronological disorder to make you feel disoriented like the protagonist (jeremy theobald), who doesn't know what's really happening around him. It got a lot of twists, and just when you think you know what's happening....you're WRONG!!!. Like every debut film from a director, it got it's little flaws, but is compensated by its brutal ...

Ever heard of MEMENTO? I thought so. How about those two new BATMAN movies, especially the one with The Joker? You can't walk the streets without hearing about those flicks. What about INSOMNIA or THE PRESTIGE? Because of all the A-list talent involved, chances are pretty good you at least heard of them.
How about FOLLOWING? Me neither. I have been an ardent fan of Christopher Nolan for a few years. But after watching THE DARK KNIGHT, it was time to find out whether my personal ... Read More

Almost a decade ago, I broke into a home. This was no difficult task, as the woman who resided there never locked her door. While there, I took something back that this woman's son had stolen from me, left something else that he deserved and was very careful to leave no other trace of my activities. Years later, I still remember that curious thrill: the novelty of my planned procedure, an adrenaline rush that was hardly unpleasant and the satisfaction of a task capably completed.

Ever thought you were being followed?
We liked this one better than Memento, definitely keeps you thinking with lots of twists and turns. Entirely in B&W but that was okay, it works well here. We recommend.

Christoper Nolan debut film is a rare treat. He expertly weaves a tangled web that ensnares you in its seductiveness.
It's the mind-boggling story of Bill, an ordinary seeming guy that has a strange habit of following people on the street. No reason, he just randomly picks strangers and watches there every step.
But his weird little habit backfires when a man named Cobb catches him in the act. Bill then unknowingly gets sucked into an elaborate scheme, and you the viewer are forced into this ... Read More
