For my film studies coursework this year, I have been researching the work of my favourite director Christopher Nolan. I am really inspired by his work and the way that he brings realism to all of his films. His films also have a neo-noir structure to them consisting of flashbacks and non linear plot structure. He also uses traditional film noir characters such as the femme fatale.
'Following' is Christopher Nolan's debut film that he made in 1998. I saw this film for the first time yesterday and found that I really enjoyed it. As with many other of his films, the plot was clever and consisted of multiple twists which became revealed over time. It is also rather impressive how the film was made on an estimated budget of $6,000 (roughly £3700).
The film is based around an aspiring writer who has an obsession with people and their lives. He follows around random strangers to learn more about them which is rather odd. This however goes wrong when one man he is following notices.
Christopher Nolan filmed this film with a group of friends from his university in London. The film was shot in the streets of London and various apartments which he and his friends owned. The film is in black and white which adds to the dark and mysterious atmosphere created within the film.
The film isn't particularly long, but manages to keep you captivated throughout. The film also has a non linear plot structure which all makes sense towards the end of the film.I really enjoyed this film and would definitely recommend it.
