Christopher Nolan's Debut Film 'Following' Now Available for Free

Christopher Nolan's career has been marked by a meteoric rise to fame, with his breakthrough project 'Memento' (2000) launching him into the spotlight. However, few fans have had the chance to explore Nolan's early work, which is often overlooked in favor of his more recent successes. That's why the release of his debut film 'Following' (1998) on Kanopy, a library streaming network, is a significant development for fans of the director.

Following is a low-budget, black-and-white film that showcases Nolan's unique style and storytelling abilities. The film follows the story of an unemployed writer who becomes obsessed with following strangers in London. While the film's plot may seem simple, it's a testament to Nolan's skill as a director that he's able to create a compelling narrative from such a basic premise.

The release of Following on Kanopy allows new fans to discover Nolan's work before his breakthrough project 'Memento'. It's a chance to see how the director's style and themes evolved over time, and to appreciate the early signs of the talent that would eventually make him a household name. For those without access to Kanopy, Following is also available on AMC+, making it easier than ever to explore Nolan's early work.
