Even Christopher Nolan's biggest fans most likely haven't seen this 1996 film.
The Big Picture Christopher Nolan is certainly one of the most influential filmmakers of his generation in both his artistic craft and active work to preserve the film industry. While many films from great directors can fall under the radar, every Nolan film feels like an event, as he can get an audience interested in his projects based on his name alone.
In 1996, Nolan wrote, directed, and independently produced the short film Larceny. Larceny was shot over the course of a single weekend by Nolan and his colleagues at the University College London when he was studying English literature. The black-and-white film had limited resources and a small cast, but longtime collaborator Jeremy Theobald found it to be different from the vast majority of college short film concepts that he had seen at the time.
Both of Nolan’s shorts seem to have a noir atmosphere to them, and it’s interesting to see how the genre fascinated him at such a young age. Following and Memento contain many hallmarks of the genre, as they center on unsolved mysteries in which the fates of multiple characters are tied to a certain moment.
