Ian Nathan’s “Iconic Filmmakers” series continues to impress with this latest volume on Christopher Nolan. Those who have already discovered this wonderful series of coffee table books know that they can expect a “complete and intimate study of the life and work of one of modern cinema’s most truly unique directors, whose distinct aesthetic and imagination are unmatched in contemporary film.” In this case, Nathan hopes to “crack open the magic box of Nolan’s twisting universe,” a task that isn’t easy considering the body of work in question.
Examining both the making of and the inspiration behind his many, many hit films, from The Prestige (2006) to the hugely successful Batmanfilms, through to his mind-bending science fiction works such as Inception (2014) and Tenet (2020). Those who have read previous volumes in this series will not be surprised to learn that this earns an easy recommendation for anyone who admires Nolan’s work.
