Following (1998) / Nolan Nostalgia #1

Back to the Frame Rate

Let's take a deep dive into Christopher Nolan's debut flick, 'Following,' as part of our Nolan nostalgia month! We'll be getting into everything from the film's plot twists to its teeny-tiny budget, and how it fits into Nolan's larger body of work, especially now that he's got that shiny Oscar for 'Oppenheimer'! We're gonna break down 'Following' like never before, exploring its clever storytelling and what it meant for Nolan to step behind the camera for the first time. We've got some killer suggestions for a double-feature movie night to pair up with 'Following,' including indie gems like 'Stranger Than Paradise,' 'El Mariachi,' and 'The Crying Game.' Trust us, it's gonna be a vibe. So grab your favorite movie snack and settle in—it's gonna be a cinematic journey you won't wanna miss!
