Paula Hammond - Features EditorChristopher Nolan is no stranger to controversy. From inaudible dialogue, to his insistence on in-camera physical effects, and his preference for analogue film over digital, the Director’s creative choices have been the subject of debate ever since his Dark Knight trilogy.
Yet, whatever niggles the fans and film-goers may have, there’s one thing that they all agree on — his visuals are always stunning.
Filming The Odyssey: Inside the Making of Christopher Nolan’s Modern Epic ignores the controversies, and gets straight to the heart of the matter — the storytelling.
Tracing the creation of Nolan’s latest film from script to screen, through exclusive interviews with the director, cast and crew, Filming The Odyssey is a beautifully executed volume, enlivened with electrifying visuals, on-set photos, concept art, and behind-the-scenes research.
Nolan loves large-format celluloid — and Filming The Odyssey is every bit as big and as bold as the IMAX film stock he favours, coming in at a massive 280 pages. And within those pages you’ll find plenty to entertain and surprise. This is a book that dives into the mind and creative processes of an award-winning director. The result is an insider’s view of the how one of the world’s oldest stories made it to the big screen.
Filming The Odyssey: Inside the Making of Christopher Nolan’s Modern Epic (ISBN 9781835419403) is published by Titan Books and is available in hardback now, priced £49.99.
