Christopher Nolan’s films are events—smart, ambitious and original. But before he made “Interstellar,” “Dunkirk” or his “Dark Knight” trilogy—even before “Memento”—Nolan made the 70-minute indie thriller FOLLOWING. This week, Adam and Josh start their Nolan “Oeuvre-view” with Nolan’s ‘99 debut, which gives tantalizing clues of the director he’ll become and the stories he’ll go on to tell. Bette Davis won a much-deserved Oscar for her performance in 1938’s JEZEBEL. The William Wyler-directed drama set in ante-bellum New Orleans is the second film in our Davis Marathon. Plus, Filmspotting Madness: Best of the 2010s comes down to the final two.
