quick review:
When was the last time you let your imaginative demons get the better of you and felt absolutely wonderful about it? Following allows you that liberty while letting you bask in the visual genius that the film is. It’s a maze – a complicated maze revealing much about the plight of a writer “between jobs” and the warped people he meets. It’s a film revolving around voyeurism, how personally you want to know random people and how that very trait can get you into trouble.

In each of his movie, Nolan puts the viewer into the mind of the actor, be it Following, Memento, Insomnia. It makes the viewer suffer what his character does. There lies his genius. If memento had been told in linear time and not 15 min slices, would it be the work of genius it is? Same with the handycam in following and the gradual overexposure in Insomnia. Reminds me of 12 Angry men, where you are made to feel you ARE in the room yourself.
@ Pondy I have a friend who re-edited Memento and made it linear to find out from his colleagues what they thought of a linear Memento. Not many liked it :-) Just saying!
But yeah, that's why I feel Nolan has a standard structure in all his films, and even though he's used the same in Following, because it's his first semi-feature you can see a new, fresh passion brimming in the film. It's delightfully exciting :-)
