To really understand the filmmaker, you need to go back to the very start.
With the arrival of his latest film, Oppenheimer, to roaring praise, Christopher Nolan is arguably the most successful director working today. No other director can demand and receive a massive budget to helm tentpoles that aren't based on pre-existing properties. By this point in his career, Nolan's insistence on his original ideas are part of why he's able to create such vast visions of scale and import.
After setting up the film with a framing device involving The Young Man and The Policeman , Following jumps between three time periods where The Young Man is at the start of his journey, another time period where he's trying to emulate Cobb's cool detachment and control, and a third where he realizes he's been had and he's struggling to make sense of being the patsy.
'Following's Themes Are Continued in Nolan's Later Work Playing with time is a neat trick to keep the story lively, but unlike Memento, Inception, Interstellar, or Dunkirk, Following isn't really about time as much as it's about a comforting lie . The great, delightfully mean-spirited twist in Following is that the protagonist is a writer who doesn't realize he's being told a story.
