His films are always challenging: visually and intellectually. In doing so, Christopher Nolan manages the feat of being extremely successful at the box office as well.
With “Tenet”, director Christopher Nolan was seen as the great hope for the film industry in the summer of 2020. Although the film grossed more than $ 360 million worldwide, it still fell a little short of the very high expectations.
Nevertheless: “Tenet” was, despite everything, the cinema highlight of Corona summer 2020. Denzel Washington’s son John David Washington (“BlacKkKlansman”) plays in it – alongside stars like Robert Pattinson, Kenneth Branagh and Michael Caine – a CIA agent who finds himself in a confusing science fiction spy thriller.
As with earlier works, Nolan tells his story across different time levels and plays with the past, present and future. Not only visually a big challenge.
Nolan’s masterpiece “Inception” (2010) was artistically structured and not always easy to see through – also a futuristic thriller about the theft of thoughts. As a dream expert, Leonardo DiCaprio can be catapulted into the depths of the subconscious.
With his intellectual adventures, Christopher Nolan, son of a British mother and an American father, is also consistently successful at the box office. His dark “Batman” trilogy with Christian Bale in the lead role alone brought in around 2.5 billion dollars worldwide, according to “Box Office Mojo”.
The star director in “Dunkirk” relied entirely on the power of images. The extraordinary war film, which is almost without words, recalls the evacuation of 330,000 soldiers from the beach in the French city of Dunkirk, immediately before the German Wehrmacht advanced.
