As Christopher Nolan’s action adventure fantasy epic The Odyssey is finally releasing in Indian cinemas this Thursday, July 16, it’s a good time to look back at the legendary filmmaker’s career. Having started his career by helming short films during university days, Nolan made his feature directorial debut in 1998. Over the past 18 years, he’s directed 13 films, with The Odyssey marking his 13th, thus averaging at almost one every year. Here’s a definitive ranking of all these films, in the order of the least impressive to the most. Nolan’s 2020 sci-fi action thriller, starring John David Washington, felt like a pat on his own back given its rather convoluted screenplay. The density, however, doesn’t always fetch merit. In the case of Tenet, it completely derailed the audience’s investment, despite some memorable set pieces and commendable performances by Washington, Robert Pattinson, and most of all, India’s very own, Dimple Kapadia. Her volcanic talent secured her a solid role, but it also deserved a better movie. Robert Pattinson and David Washington in Tenet. The Prestige …

In a recent interaction at a Hyderabad college, Ashwin opened up about what it takes to make a high-concept film, and how ideas are essentially universal. Discussing the concept of developing the seed of an idea into something really concrete, Nag Ashwin said that the overlap of ideas is something that can happen to anyone at any point in their career. “I had written something like Inception in 2008. While the Nolan film was about dreams, mine was about memories. In fact, seeing the trailer of Inception made me go have a week of depression,” said the Mahanati director, who also pointed out that the real clincher is authenticity and not originality. “Honestly, originality is something out of your control, and it is okay to stop chasing it. Instead, concentrate more on bringing authenticity to your work.” Also Read | ‘PK was like Inception,’ …

What Was Christopher Nolan’s Initial Idea For Inception?(Photo Credit –Facebook/Prime Video) Oscar-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan is renowned for his complex yet nuanced storylines. Nolan has released several blockbusters in theatres, and one of his most acclaimed movies continues to be Inception. The film, which was released in 2010 and starred Leonardo DiCaprio as the lead, expanded the horizons of cinema in a true sense by presenting the fascinating story of Dom Cobb. However, the maker of the film revealed that he primarily began writing Inception as a mere heist film. Christopher Nolan told WIRED, “The problem was that I started with a heist film structure. At the time, that seemed the best way of getting all the exposition into the beginning of the movie.” The filmmaker soon realized that a heist film is largely unemotional and tends to be “deliberately superficial.” This pushed Christopher Nolan to go ahead and add a much-needed emotional layer to the film, which resonated perfectly with the story. “I wanted to deal with the world of dreams, and I realized …
