Review: Christopher Nolan is the greatest filmmaker of all time. I don't think it's debatable. I don't think it's even close. He's so much more than a filmmaker. He's a writer, an artist, a mathematician, a scientist. For a director to be able to create something so inventive and totally original in only your second directorial outing, his first with a Hollywood budget, is utterly perplexing.  Memento is also such a pivotal film because it's the first time Christopher Nolan decided to work with his brother Jonathon Nolan. Working together with Christopher writing the screenplay and Jonathon writing a short story 'Memento Mori'. It's a well-polished script with each piece of dialogue being slick and precise. Memento is so well...

He's constantly adapting and telling complex stories whilst making some of the best films of the 21st century.

What time travel allows us to do is to say ok, but what if we could? What if we could preserve that moment? What if we could revisit that moment?" And that creativity and genius filmmaking is what sets him apart from other directors. 10. Insomnia 09. Tenet 08. The Dark Kn...
