Christopher Nolan has always been obsessed with layering different film genres on top of each other. 2000’s Memento is a revenge thriller crossed with a noir mystery, while 2008’s The Dark Knight is a superhero blockbuster crossed with a Michael Mann-inspired crime flick. 2014’s Interstellar works simultaneously as a giant sci-fi adventure and an intimate family drama, and even his most recent outing, 2020’s Tenet, attempts to combine espionage and sci-fi.
