Christopher Nolan is a relic

 Jeffrey St. Clair >>

 

+ The idea of Christopher Nolan as a cutting-edge director is absurd. He is the most antiquated of filmmakers, making the kind of cinema Godard pronounced dead in 1970. He only makes movies on “film” to be projected at certain aspect ratios inside cinemas with particular screens. When Godard saw the 1st cellphone camera, the old man embraced it as the future of film-making, where movies could be made for almost nothing: shot, edited & distributed worldwide on the web by themselves, freed from the studios & confining walls of theaters. Nolan is a relic.
