Time bended and twists galore. Obsessive, tortured men. Charismatic villains sent to wreak havoc in their enemy’s lives. Pulverising sound, gorgeous set design, timeless practical effects. Twelve films, each as unique and of their creator’s mind as the last.
The work of Christopher Nolan often covers the same ground – in theme, at least, and as feats of filmmaking. Most deal with heroes caught in a twisted tale they can’t seem to untangle; many see love and hope as weapons against evil – shields from disaster. All find the director pouring oodles of awe-inspiring magic into every scene he crafts, from the minute to the grand.
All, though, are radically different in form and often in genre, too. Nolan has brought us dark thrillers, a trilogy of game-changing superhero flicks, sci-fi epics and war dramas, and with each one he’s given us unrivalled craftsmanship, bold visions of light in the darkness, and complex webs of storytelling.
One of a remarkable few filmmakers working today who are almost guaranteed to deliver on the hype their reputation demands, Nolan has shown no signs of slowing down, his films of late going bigger than ever with epic, grand-stand results.
So with that in mind, then, from The Dark Knight to Oppenheimer, from Insomnia to Inception, here are all of Christopher Nolan’s movies ranked from worst to best.
