Signs of what was to follow


Following (1998)

Directed by Christopher Nolan this film stars Jeremy Theobald, Alex Haw and Lucy Russell. A young writer starts following strangers and makes friends with a thief.

Made on a micro budget this film does not look to bad although in places it does show that the actors are not professionals. The plot for the film uses a number of stock noir characters and what was has become Nolan's trademark non-linear story telling. When it comes to the revelations at the end of the film I am not sure they all make sense and maybe rely a little too much on coincidence but otherwise this is a decent first film.

3/5
