Christopher Nolan's feature-length directorial debut is also a manifesto of his future cinema: labyrinthine narrative, an obsession with control, and a fascination with the fluid nature of identity. Shot on a shoestring budget (a mere $6,000!), in black and white, utilizing natural light and the London apartments of the director's friends, "Following" remains one of the most striking examples of independent cinema of the 1990s.
The film's protagonist, an unnamed young writer, begins following random people on the streets of London, using them as material for his observations. However, this initially innocent fascination quickly turns into a dangerous ritual when he encounters the charismatic burglar Cobb—a guide through a world of manipulation, self-performing, and moral disorientation. Nolan leads the viewer through a series of seemingly unrelated events, disrupting the linearity of the story and forcing the viewer to constantly reconstruct reality.
