Christopher Nolan’s First Movie Is Perfect For Alfred Hitchcock Fans

While the starting point for Christopher Nolan’s career as a filmmaker is generally considered to be his 2000 movie Memento, Nolan’s first film was actually his 1998 passion project Following. This little-known debut feature from the director is a Hitchcockian neo-noir crime thriller that was shot in black-and-white on the streets of London, and cost just $6,000 to make. Nolan shot the movie over the course of several weekends, while he earned a living as a videographer for business during the week. Like almost all of his movies, it was produced by his wife, Emma Thomas.
