Author detail
Christopher Jonathan James Nolan (born July 30, 1970) is a British-American film director, screenwriter and producer. Noted for the innovative structure of both his noirish, cerebral debut film **Following** (1998) and its follow-up, the equally unconventional and heady **Memento** (2000), London-born filmmaker Christopher Nolan has shown a unique talent for creating involving films containing concepts based on abstract breaks with conventional behavior and idealism. Dubbed meta-noir by critics at a loss for words to describe its psychologically demanding, high-concept yet low-key journey into the mind of a man seeking revenge but lacking the ability to create new memories, Memento became the basis of lively discussion and debate among critics and audiences hungering for something thoughtful among a flurry of countless computer-generated pseudo-thrills and all-too-familiar gross-out comedies.
