As a director, writer, and producer, Christopher Nolan has
substantially impacted contemporary cinema through avant garde
films, such as Following and Memento, and his contribution to wider
pop culture with his Dark Knight trilogy. His latest film,
Interstellar, delivered the same visual qualities and complex,
thought-provoking plotlines his audience anticipates. The
Philosophy of Christopher Nolan collects sixteen essays, written by
professional philosophers and film theorists, discussing themes
such as self-identity and self-destruction, moral choice and moral
doubt, the nature of truth and its value, whether we can trust our
perceptions of what's "real," the political psychology of heroes
and villains, and what it means to be a "viewer" of Nolan's films.
Whether his protagonists are squashing themselves like a bug,
struggling to create an identity and moral purpose for themselves,
suffering from their own duplicitous plots, donning a mask that
both strikes fear and reveals their true nature, or having to weigh
the lives of those they love against the greater good, there are no
simple solutions to the questions Nolan's films provoke; exploring
these questions yields its own reward.
