All Hail Christopher Nolan

Getting fired up to see Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. It’s been a good summer for movies, actually, what with Iron Man kicking some serious butt and Indiana Jones returning and Wall-E showing once again that the guys and gals at Pixar are brilliant geniuses every single damn one of ‘em. (I’m also hearing good things about the French version of the Harlan Coben adaptation Tell No One.) But if Batman Begins was any indication, then TDK will be the cream of the summer crop. I thought Begins was a tour de force. Pure Nolan: inventive, edgy, dark, quasi-surreal. It was the best comic book movie I had ever seen and there wasn’t a close second. TDK is already getting some hellaciously good reviews, and guess what? Critics are treating it seriously, and what else could you ask for with a summer blockbuster? Can’t wait. While we bide our time waiting for the film’s release, let’s revisit Chris Nolan’s first (and best) film, the integral mindtrip noir Following, shall we?
