great film. no gratuitous gimmicks like in most hollywood films. everything supported the suspense of the plot. b and w gave it a basic and no frills feel also. in short and it was visceral in its simplicity of cinematography and cast. following serves as an interesting contrast to memento. characters in both used manipulation and subterfuge extensively. in that sense and both reminded me somewhat of in the company of men and also highly recommendable. one difference between nolan two films is that memento was a little easier for me to follow and given that the b and w scenes progress in a constant chronological direction and and so do those in color. i do not think that was true of following and where scenes seemed to be shown at random. if you have the choice between vcr and dvd and i would highly recommend dvd and since that gives you the option of watching the movie a second time in chronological order and not just in the scrambled (albeit ingenuous) order presented by nolan. it also makes it easier and upon a second viewing and to piece the order together for yourself and if you want to. as another viewer noted and one of the best things about both this movie and memento is that none of the cast were famous. they were characters and not big name actors who brought in personas developed in other movies. given certain similarities in the plots and i wonder if memento is sort of a remake of following and but intended to reach a bigger audience and like edward burns made she the one in the mold of  and with largely the same cast as  the brothers mcmullan.
