Most Recent Film: Interstellar (2014) Next Film: N/A Best Film: Memento (2000) It's key that most directors have vision, but Christopher Nolan has vision. He's often hailed as something akin to a modern day Stanley Kubrick, but that's a description that does no man any favours; Nolan might have the intentions of a Kubrick, but he's not as cerebral. Kubrick, on the other hand, would never have committed to a trilogy of superhero films. That's not to deride either director - more to show that the similarities are surface level. Nolan favours subversion; so many of his films - Memento, The Prestige, Insomnia - rely on twists and sleight of hand to drive their narratives. He gets a kick out of making you say: "Oh, I didn't see that coming." There is a playfulness to Nolan that is often undervalued. There's no doubting that Nolan, above all, wants to entertain audiences, though; he wants to wow them and offer up big, unforgettable images, and no movie in his canon is proof of this more than his recent sci-fi epic Interstellar (somewhat underrated upon release). Here was a director putting his soul on the line. "You want heart?" you could almost hear him saying - a responsible to criticisms of coldness that have targeted his filmography since day one. Still, nobody is making films in Hollywood like Christopher Nolan is - he's looking for art and blockbuster as one of the same, and you'll bet he keep on striving to reach his goal.
