Book Presentation:
Over the past fifteen years, writer, producer and director Christopher Nolan has emerged from the margins of independent British cinema to become one of the most commercially successful directors in Hollywood. From Following (1998) to Interstellar (2014), Christopher Nolan's films explore philosophical concerns by experimenting with nonlinear storytelling while also working within classical Hollywood narrative and genre frameworks. Contextualizing and closely reading each of his films, this collection examines the director's play with memory, time, trauma, masculinity, and identity, and considers the function of music and video games and the effect of IMAX on his work.

About the authors:
Jacqueline Furby is senior lecturer in film and Stuart Joy is associate lecturer in film and television at Southampton Solent University.

Press Reviews:
Ably edited by Furby and Joy, this collection bids fair to become the go-to resource for those seeking serious analysis of the director's work... This is a smashing success and a must-have for cineasts. Choice
