Following [1998]
IMDB-7.7
RottenTomatoes-76
RJG Rating-95


Starring -Jeremy Theobald,Alex Haw,Lucy Russell
Written -Christopher Nolan
Music -David Julyan
Cinematography -Christopher Nolan

Following is the story of a writer who begins to follow people.On one such shadowing,he meets a burglar ,Cobb.



Nolan's first movie was written by him and runs a short time of 77min.The movie was made for just $6000.Even with such limitations,this movie turned out to be amazing.

Following has the Nolan trademark of Non-linear timelines.It sometimes will confuse us,but if you notice carefully, its possible to keep track of the 3-4 timelines.The story wont make any sense in the beginning,since it keeps moving to past ,future and so forth but as we reach towards the end,you yourself will be able to place these confusing set pieces in one line,forming a complete story.
Such movies are hard to come by,movies that not only entertain us but also has our brain working in the background.
The climax of Following is one of the most brilliant ones ever made.
Following is a movie that deserves repeat viewing,and it starts off the brilliant career of Nolan...

Acting-4/5
Direction-5/5
