YOU’RE NEVER ALONE.

An aspiring writer (Jeremy Theobald) tries to find inspiration by following people around London; he’s soon caught by Cobb (Alex Haw), who draws him into his burglaries, which follow a certain set of rules.

Christopher Nolan’s feature film debut is a first example of his fascination with broken timelines, even though in this case it came out of practical restraints, much like the black-and-white cinematography.

We’re drawn into the intrigue between the follower, the followed and the blonde between them, but the story doesn’t have much of a satisfying conclusion.
