Batman Begins (2005)

Eight years after box office bomb Batman and Robin appeared to Bang! Boom! Pow! superhero films into oblivion, Nolan single-handedly resurrected the genre by gravitating – both figuratively and literally – to the dark side. Eschewing the cartoonish costumes and camp one-liners, Batman Begins instead grounds its themes of vengeance and redemption in a much grittier, gloomier world, but one that Bale’s Caped Crusader still feels obliged to protect. Furthermore, it established several long-running creative partnerships, with Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy and composer Hans Zimmer all becoming Nolan regulars. Unfortunately, its success also gave Hollywood carte blanche to give every superhero their own self-serious origin story with diminishing returns. (Stream on HBO Max, Prime Video, Netflix or Now.

Interstellar (2014)

Influenced by what Nolan described as the “key touchstones” of science-fiction (most blatantly, hero Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey), Interstellar boasts some truly breathtaking cosmic visuals and, thanks to input from real-life astrophysicist Kip Thorne, a keen understanding of everything from time dilation to supermassive black holes. But in a rarity for the stiff upper lip Brit, he seems equally interested in exploring human emotion. None more so than in the scene where Matthew McConaughey’s space traveller – on a mission to find a replacement habitat for a dust-ravaged Earth – tearfully watches decade-spanning family footage from back home. Who knew that Nolan does indeed have a heart? (Stream on HBO Max or Now. Rent on YouTube, Google Play, Apple TV or Sky Store). (Photo: Warner Bros)

Insomnia (2002)

A remake of the 1997 Norwegian thriller of the same name, Insomnia is the only film in Nolan’s catalogue he didn’t have a hand in writing. He still makes his mark throughout, capturing the bleakness and chilliness of the wild Alaskan landscape so effectively you’re soon reaching for your scarf and gloves. He also draws top-notch performances out of Al Pacino and Robin Williams, the former a sleep-deprived detective consumed by guilt over an accidental death and its subsequent cover-up, and the latter playing against the wisecracking type as a scheming killer. It’s a refreshingly straightforward yet still compelling watch which, as argued by the man himself, stands up as Nolan’s most underrated work. (Stream on iPlayer or Prime Video).

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

Having set the superhero gold standard with his previous venture into Gotham, The Dark Knight (see below), Nolan set himself a near-insurmountable task with its follow-up. The Dark Knight Rises, which brings Christian Bale’s brooding Batman out of an eight-year self-imposed exile to save the day again, is a perfectly solid trilogy closer containing all the comic-book bells and whistles you’d expect. But although Tom Hardy’s masked man Bane makes for a physically imposing – if indecipherable – villain, he’s no Joker. And while Nolan has since dismissed accusations of pro-capitalist propaganda, its anti-Occupy Wall Street messaging suggests otherwise. It might be the highest-grossing film in the franchise (and his career), but it’s the least essential. (Stream on Prime Video, Netflix or Now. Rent on YouTube, Google Play, Apple TV or Sky Store).

Following (1998)

It almost seems churlish to compare Nolan’s directorial debut – a no-budget 70-minute affair shot at weekends with the help of family and friends – to the cash-splashing, A-list blockbusters that have attracted so many fanboys (Nolan, pictured in 2019). The filmmaker, who also served as writer, editor, producer and photographer, couldn’t even afford professional lighting. The story of a voyeuristic novelist (known simply as The Young Man) who, while searching for inspiration, becomes embroiled in London’s criminal underbelly, Following inevitably lacks Nolan’s usual shine. Still, with its neo-noir visual style, non-linear structure and twists and turns that practically demanded a rewatch, it resourcefully hinted at the greatness to come. (Stream on Prime Video.

Tenet (2020)

Positioned as the saviour of Hollywood in the summer of 2020, Tenet was the first tentpole release to hit cinemas once the early lockdown restrictions were lifted. But many of those who flocked to its socially distant screenings were left wishing they’d stayed at home baking sourdough instead. Leaning into his worst impulses – metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, wafer-thin characterisation, painfully humourless dialogue – Nolan’s attempt to put a time-inverting spin on James Bond was an impenetrable slog that suggested he’d been blinded by his own hype. Tenet sure looks cool, but it’s all style and no substance. (Stream on HBO Max, Prime Video or Netflix. Rent on Google Play, Apple TV or Sky Store). (Photo: Warner Bros)

“Every film should have its own world, a logic and feel to it that expands beyond the exact image that the audience is seeing,” Christopher Nolan once said, an approach to directing that’s established him as the master of immersive cinema. Whether it’s the gritty urban landscapes of Gotham City, the overseas battlefields of the Second World War or the vast expanses of outer space, the two-time Oscar winner can draw audiences in like no other. And this week he’s bringing Ancient Greece to the multiplexes for a typically audacious adaptation of Homer’s literary epic The Odyssey. To celebrate, here are his past cinematic adventures ranked from worst to best.
