Following ★★ 1999 (R)

Nolan's feature debut is an odd little neo-noir about a young man named Bill (Theobald) who likes to follow strangers. He picks the wrong guy in burglar Cobb (Haw) who has his own voyeuristic tastes. Cobb turns the tables on Bill and decides to become his mentor in crime. And sticking with the noir tradition, there's a mysterious blonde femme (Russell) whose relationship to the men is gradually revealed. As in his 2001 film “Memento,” Nolan plays twister with the chronology, which means more than one viewing may be necessary to figure things out. 71m/B VHS, DVD . Jeremy Theobald, Alex Haw, Lucy Russell, John Nolan; D: Christopher Nolan; W: Christopher Nolan; C: Christopher Nolan; M: David Julyan.
