Following is also another movie that was in the psycho genre. Its directed by Christopher Nolan who is also famous for other thrillers such as The Dark Knight, Memento, The Prestige and Inception. Christopher Nolan is an British-American director whose storyline structures often reflect the mental construction of the characters in his films. Each of his films are massively popular and throughout his years he has developed a professional realtionship with actor such as Sir Michael Caine. Caine doesnt appear in the film following but he does appear in The Dark Knight, The Prestige and Inception. This shows the viewer that Nolan really wants to put across the kind of character that Caine plays in each of his thrilling suspence films.
In 1998, Following was Christopher Nolan's first film he directed with a very small $6,000 budget and began filming on weekends over a time span of a year, he got help from friends he'd met at the University College London film society. The film portrays a writer who is obsessed in following random people that are obliviously carrying on with their own lives. The scenes are show out of chronological order, making the viewer very disoriented having to analyze the elements of the story in the same way as the protagonist calculates what is happening around him.
