We're gonna break down 'Following' like never before, exploring its clever storytelling and what it meant for Nolan to step behind the camera for the first time. We've got some killer suggestions for a double-feature movie night to pair up with 'Following,' including indie gems like 'Stranger Than Paradise,' 'El Mariachi,' and 'The Crying Game.'
