101 Films presents Christopher Nolan's debut feature film Following (1998). Armed with a 16mm camera, a tiny budget and using his now trademark non-linear structure, Nolan presents a gripping Neo-Noir set on the backstreets of London. Shot over the course of 12 months, with Nolan covering the majority of production duties himself, Following is a thrilling introduction to one of modern cinema's most visionary filmmakers. Curiosity develops into voyeuristic fixation as a young writer, Bill (Jeremy Theobald) follows strangers around London to research a novel. After following Cobb (Alex Haw), a well-heeled stranger, who is actually a thief, Bill's obsession takes a sinister turn. Drawn into Cobb's world of burglary, prying into the personal lives of victims, he becomes obsessed with an attractive young woman, played by Lucy Russell, an aspiring actress making her movie debut. In Cobb, Bill has found a strange companion, part mentor, part confessor and part evil twin.
