This in-depth analysis of Christopher Nolan's film oeuvre illuminates the mythic filmmaker renowned for changing cinematic language in the 21st century.

With his groundbreaking film Memento, Christopher Nolan radically changed modern cinema, and shot skyward into rarely paralleled stardom.

As with Hitchcock, Nolan's name has become associated with an entire cinematic language and style, inspiring legions of fans to debate over the meanings and plot twists embedded in his films.

Today, the influential British-American film director, producer, and screenwriter is renowned for his darkly complex and genre-busting Dark Knight trilogy, as well as mind-bending science fiction films Inception and Interstellar.

Nolan's feature films have grossed over $5 billion worldwide and earned him ten Oscar wins.

Self-described 'Nolan obsessive' Tom Shone is a widely published film critic.

In this book, Shone collaborates with Nolan in an illuminating and detailed look at the director's award-winning films, and deconstructs the auteur who combines big budget blockbuster effects with philosophical pensiveness.
