Examining the beginnings of a generational auteur with Following (1996)

On this episode, Christian Gutiérrez (⁠⁠Finite Cinema Dreams⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Reel Latinos⁠⁠) returns to guest host while Kenzo is away as we discuss the career of Christopher Nolan in anticipation of his new film, The Odyssey, coming out in just a weeks time.

We spend the bulk of our discussion discussing his debut feature film, Following (1998), and how it was made for essentially no money in little bursts on the weekends with friends and family. We also discuss the auteur's thematic obsessions and what we think makes him so special.
