Film critic Corey Hughes joins me to discuss Nolan’s feature length debut film Following.

The 1998 neo-noir crime thriller was made on a shoestring budget, and was released to a general positive response to critics, also winning several awards on the festival circuit, recognising Nolan as up and coming talent.

Following tells the story of a young man who follows strangers as a hobby, eventually being drawn into the criminal underworld when he fails to keep his distance with someone he has been following.

We discuss the themes, Nolan’s fascination with crime and justice, documentarian style filmmaking, how this movie laid the groundwork for his future career and more.
