Following follows Little Red Riding Hood pinching out a big [one].

Christopher Nolan’s excellent Following had a lot of people wondering what happened to the director. Why did he sell out? My guess would be money. Duh! After making the critically-acclaimed Memento (some say the non-linear framework for Memento was laid in Following) he went on to make Insomnia. Insomnia wasn’t bad, but it didn’t hold a candle to Erik Skjoldbjærg’s original Norwegian version, from which it was remade. After that, things just seemed to go more and more mainstream.  Hey, what do I care? As long as he’s happy… that’s the main thing.

With Following clocking in at a mere 69 minutes, it seemed only fitting that we start the night with a longer short than usual, and to keep it black and white all night, we picked the delightful Little Red Riding Hood, directed by David Kaplan, starring a very young Christina Ricci, and narrated by non other than Quentin Crisp. What a hoot!
