Following [Region 2] description Creepy intimacy, plenty of suspense, and a few surprises enliven this black-and-white treat from the director of Memento. Bill is a struggling writer who fills his time and mind by following random strangers he sees on the street. After breaking his own rule ("never follow the same person twice") he becomes fascinated by Cobb, a voyeur who takes things one step further--actually breaking into people's homes to sift through their things. As you might expect, the relationship soon becomes unhealthy. Writer-director Christopher Nolan already reveals a sure hand in this early neo-noir work. Like Memento, Following toys with timelines, jumping back and forth and carefully dropping bits of information exactly when they're needed. Short and sharp, Following features an intriguing plot line and fine, understated performances by the entire cast. Don't miss it. --Ali Davis |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Film noir at its finest |
| Christoper Nolan debut film is a rare treat. He expertly weaves a tangled web that ensnares you in its seductiveness.
It's the mind-boggling story of Bill, an ordinary seeming guy that has a strange habit of following people on the street. No reason, he just randomly picks strangers and watches there every step. But his weird little habit backfires when a man named Cobb catches him in the act. Bill then unknowingly gets sucked into an elaborate scheme, and you the viewer are forced into this clever mystery along with him. The ending left me stunned, I love when movies can have such a profound impact on you. This is a very well written story that is confusing the first time watching. It jumps around chronologically and will probably frustrate you, like Nolan's follow-up movie, Memento. One cool feature this DVD has is the option of rearranging the scenes, if you want to watch this unfold without the mystery. I wouldn't reccommend watching it that way the first time, but if you don't like being toyed with, then feel free. I think it is truly amazing that such a clever story could be wound up in only 71 minutes. A must see for Nolan(The Prestige, Insomnia)fans. He is quickly becoming the next Hitchcock, in my opinion. |
