Looking back, it's fair to describe Christopher Nolan's career path as "meteoric." 2000's Memento was only his second movie. That was his breakthrough project, which led to Nolan working with Al Pacino (!) and Robin Williams for 2002's Insomnia. Next came Batman Begins (2005), Nolan's fourth movie, and that's what really made Nolan a household name. Much like Steven Soderbergh, Nolan got famous fast. Most new filmmakers spend more time in the trenches than Nolan did, making commercials, TV, or B-movies. They tend to have an extensive backlog when they hit it big so new fans can revisit their past work. For example, if you watch Everything Everywhere All at Once and you want to see what else Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan have done, you can check out a dozen strange music videos they made before they got anywhere near a major motion picture. If you're looking for early work from Steven Spielberg, you can watch Duel or Amblin'. For Christopher Nolan, your only stop before Memento is his debut, 1998's Following. Before you run out to see Nolan's The Odyssey, it can be fun to take a look at how he started. It's currently available via AMC+, or for free on the library streaming networ
