Video: Christopher Nolan’s Time Puzzle

An 8-minute exploration of Nolan’s fascination with story and time.

This Little White Lies video explores Christopher Nolan’s interest, even obsession with time.

His newest movie Dunkirk features three different but parallel time frames.

This is one of the unique capacities of movies: To manipulate time. That’s why I created the Core VIII: Time class which covers: Writing in the present tense and being in the moment, backstory and present-past, destiny and present-future, setups, payoffs and callbacks, montage and series of shots, flashback and flashforward, nonlinear storytelling, narrative drive, and much more.
