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.
