Wish You Were There
Films That Came And Went And You Didn't

Christopher Nolan's Following sneaked into town 3 weeks ago, started at the NuArt, hopped over to the Sunset 5, then straight to the Monica 4-Plex for those wonderful $8 weekend morning screenings. By the time you read this, it will be gone and you only have yourself to blame. Bill is a struggling writer (as if there is any other kind) who takes to following people to gain inspiration for his characters, Along the way, he enters into a partnership with one of the people he's trailed. Trust is forged, plans are made, and Bill finds himself neck deep in the kind of love triangle that we haven't seen since John Dahl's Red Rock West. Noir in its' shadow- play, Following takes the old Hitchcock "innocent man" theme and runs it through a morality tale meat grinder. Sound interesting? It was and you missed it. Thank God for video stores.
