Christopher Nolan's latest film Tenet begins opening at theatres that are allowed to operate around the country this week. Meanwhile our locations continue to be closed by governmental orders. So making lemonade out of lemons, our next Rialto Recommends is a throwback to the spring of 1999 when Nolans first film FOLLOWING was released. FOLLOWING is a wickedly clever story of how a young man's obsession with following people leads him into a dark underworld. The Hollywood Reporter raved "Christopher Nolan's noirish thriller is an uncommonly polished and assured feature debut, highly clever textually and supremely accomplished technically. This ultra low-budget exercise marks the emergence of a significant directorial talent." While the Miami Herald said "Following is a pitch-black crime story, but never forgets its gentler side. It is, at 70 minutes, a slim movie, but by the time it concludes in inevitable tragedy, Nolan's characters have accomplished something rare for an openly nihilistic work: sympathy." FOLLOWING is streaming on the Criterion Channel or is available to rent for a modest fee from Amazon, GooglePlay, YouTube, and Apple HERE.
