Following (1999) | Movie Review | First in Christopher Nolan Movie Review Series

In early 1998, young 28 year old Christopher Nolan, debuted his first film, Following, to a few film festivals in the United States and the United Kingdom. He never went to film school but instead got his degree in English (just like co-host Corbin). He made his film for only $6,000 (an unheard of sum). At the time, no one had ever heard of him...today...he is considered one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation. Join Corbin and Allen as they embark on reviewing all 10 of Christopher Nolan's films, leading up to his "event" blockbuster this summer, Tenet. 22 years later, does young Nolan's first film hint at the genius to come or does its un-theatrical 70 minute length spell "amateur"? Join Corbin and Allen as they review Following to find out!
