Why Christopher Nolan is the best modern director?

If Christopher Nolan’s filmography could be described in two word, it’s

those— varied and masterpiece. Christopher Nolan movies are great for
filmmakers to study because he is one of the few directors who understand both
how to craft a compelling story, and then support that story through very precise
cinematic techniques. Christopher Nolan pays attention to details , uses 70mm
IMAX camera to film movies which he considers to be the first director to shoot an
entire movie using that 70mm IMAX . Also he plays with time as he wants, but
respecting its rules. For example «Interstellar» has some of the greatest scenes set
in outer space since Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Many of the visual effects
in the film were created beforehand so that the filmmakers could later capture them
“in camera”. This allowed actors to react to their surroundings without the use of a
green screen. Watching Matthew McConaughey mow through an okra field with a
pick-up or slip into a black hole are just some of the great moments in the film.

Nolan has received many awards and honours. Time named him one of

the 100 most influential people in the world in 2015, and in 2019, he was
appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire for his services to film.

Having made some of the most influential and popular films of his time,
Nolan's work has been as "intensely embraced, analyzed and debated by ordinary
film fans as by critics and film academics. Several of his films have been regarded
by critics as among the best of their respective decades and according to «The Wall
Street Journal», his "ability to combine box-office success with artistic ambition
has given him an extraordinary amount of clout in the industry. For example
«Inception» has some of Christopher Nolan’s best movie moments, but it also
features some of the most... paradoxical. An important rule to consider in
filmmaking:
«Once you’ve established a set of “magic rules” you must stay consistent».

This film seems to struggle with its own rules quite a bit, and then tries to
write itself out of some of the contrivances and plot holes, or ignores them
completely like the relationship between gravity and time in each dream layer. 

The concept of dream versus reality is explored in a very interesting way,

specifically in regards to Cobb’s relationship with his wife, but many of the
antagonists and complications in «Inception» are also a bit... faceless and unclear.

Without a doubt, there are some amazing, now iconic, moments in Inception.
The film grammar is very strong, the core idea is inventive, the kicks are visually
stunning, and the complex ending scene is absolutely superb. All of these
achievements solidify Christopher Nolan as a truly unique filmmaker.
