Over the past fifteen years, writer, producer and director Christopher Nolan has emerged from the margins of independent British cinema to become one of the most commercially successful directors in Hollywood. From
Following (1998) to
Interstellar (2014), Christopher Nolan’s films explore philosophical concerns by experimenting with nonlinear storytelling while also working within classical Hollywood narrative and genre frameworks. Contextualizing and closely reading each of his films, this collection examines the director’s play with memory, time, trauma, masculinity, and identity, and considers the function of music and video games and the effect of IMAX on his work.
