Disco Stu 15,495 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Indeed! I am a Nolan pagan, but the cinema is richer for having him even if I don't actually like his movies most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,134 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I'm trying to get interested for this. Nolan is great. My favourite film of his being The Prestige, but I don't think even Nolan will be able to match the technical and emotional artistry of the Atonement scene. A constantly moving, uncut 5 minute shot, wonderfully conveying the long wait of all the soldiers, flawlessly executed and hard-hitting. I doubt Nolan can reach those heights, but I hope he can.

Will 2,215 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I don't really "know" Nolan, but this films looks very, very intriguing (due to my immense fascination with history). Very haunting trailer. Oh, and didn't realize Rylance was in this! However, I'm not sure if I'll see it. It may be a little too gory for me.

If my prediction is correct, and Nolan did make a movie that stretches Spielberg's Omaha Beach for the entirety of its running time, then it would explain why there is so little dialogue.

crocodile 7,988 Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 While I'm not massively excited about Dunkirk (and that also having something to do with my general dislike of big historical epics and their usual lack of merit) what Our Lord Saviour says about his film in this interview sounds kind of encouraging, from the cinematic point of view anyway... and potentially even for his non-fans.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I'll believe a low-dialogue Nolan film when I see it! It would be great though if he has learned to tell a story visually rather than though exposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
