It would be interesting for Nolan and Deakins to collaborate, as they both have that heightened realism that I love.

Nice breakdown.. Interesting about the minimal color and how that relates to older black and white film, it's subtle but it really makes sense and keeps you in mood of the entirety of the film. Your studio is looking good, hope you're enjoying it.

I love Nolan's movies, he's absolutely legend!

An interesting breakdown, I appreciate both his realistic & naturalistic approach.

Nolan stated that film is the best analogy to the human eye perception, you definitely understand that “the medium is the message” so film automatically takes a higher status than that of a simple format...

His cinema gives meaning to the word “film”.

I’m glad i found your review of a director’s work I respect!

I don't think a lot of people talk about his visual style vastly transitioned from Interstellar (not even you mentioned it). his style was very consistent from his first movie, up until he worked with Hoyetema. from Interstellar he started using more artificial ambient lighting than natural lights. and he started using this weird color filter that gives the movie green-grey look and the backgrounds always looking moody cloudy, and he doesn't use handheld anymore either, it's mostly big imax steady cams now. personally I don't really like his new style, I liked his original style when he worked with Pfster. which had a more gorilla style, indie film look to it. it made it look apart from all the studio tentpoles of at that time

Like nolan there are many director in across global.. but he so lucky that's y he is visible to everyone

It’s interesting...I know recency bias is a thing, but I feel like Nolan is now underrated. Look at his IMDb, I feel like his career (so far) can be put up against ANY all time great director. It’s a fantastic career thus far.

Great video Rubb! What cinematographer would be the opposite of Nolan when it comes to lighting faces? Can you think of an example to share with us? Thanks man! 🏆

I appreciate the insight you bring in all your videos. I clicked the bell a long time ago

Awesome video! :)
Why do you think do Nolan's movies still differ visually? I mean: they have similar color pallettes, similar lighting and are all shot on film but every film he made has its own look to it somehow.
