Following (Criterion Collection) [USA]

December 11,2012

Directed by Christopher Nolan

From IMDB:

An older man listens to Bill's story about being a callow writer who likes to follow strangers around around London, observing them. One day, a glib and self-confident man whom Bill has been following confronts him. He's Cobb, a burglar who takes Bill under his wing and shows him how to break and enter. They burgle a woman's flat; Bill gets intrigued with her (photographs are everywhere in her flat). He follows her and chats her up at a bar owned by her ex-boyfriend, a nasty piece of work who killed someone in her living room with a hammer. Soon Bill is volunteering to do her a favor, which involves a break-in. What does the older man know that Bill doesn't?

I saw this a while back. I didn't think it was great TBH. It gets compared to Memento a lot but this is an ultra low budget film and I don't think it can compare to any of Christopher Nolan's other films.

Same here mate, seen this once but haven't had the feeling to re-watch since. Interesting plot but one thing I liked more is to saw the birth of Nolan's mind bending ideas.

This was a blind buy for me and I found it a bit annoying. It's very low budget and full of pretentious characters, which made it difficult to watch. I had to force myself to keep going to the end.
