Christopher Nolan is a mad scientist. The British filmmaker is obsessed with manipulating time as a tool to elicit emotional responses. “Memento,” “Inception,” “Dunkirk,” and “Tenet” all explore the concept of time. However, Nolan’s defining use of time as a narrative device happens in “Interstellar.”
“Interstellar” is a sci-fi adventure starring Matthew McConaughey as Cooper, a former NASA pilot who leads an expedition to explore a wormhole near Saturn with planets that could be humanity’s next home. Backed by spellbinding visuals and an emotionally driven plot, “Interstellar” is one of Nolan’s most personal movies that has garnered a dedicated fanbase. The movie’s fandom remains at an all-time high, with nearly every screening sold out this week for the IMAX rerelease to celebrate the 10th anniversary.
