The Life Story of Christopher Nolan

Under the Eye of the Clock

Christopher Nolan's previous films have reflected the uncertainties of the twentieth-first century. With Dunkirk, Nolan has gone back into the past and brought to life one of the momentous events of the twentieth-century - the evacuation of British troops from Dunkirk, telling the tale by land, sea, and sky. Dunkirk opens as hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops are surrounded by enemy forces. Trapped on the beach with their backs to the sea, they face an impossible situation as the enemy closes in. The film features a prestigious cast, including Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy, and newcomer Fionn Whitehead, with Mark Rylance and Tom Hardy. The screenplay is accompanied by a conversation about the film between Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan, as well as selected storyboards.

Dam-Burst of Dreams

"O FIM DA TERRA NÃO SERÁ O NOSSO FIM". Do aclamado cineasta Christopher Nolan, diretor de A origem (Inception) e da trilogia Batman – O Cavaleiro das Trevas (Batman - The Dark Knight), INTERESTELAR é a crônica de um grupo de exploradores que se aproveita de um recém-descoberto buraco de minhoca para ultrapassar os limites das viagens espaciais tripuladas e assim conquistar as grandes distâncias de uma jornada interestelar. Enquanto viajam, estão em risco o destino do planeta... Terra...e o futuro da raça humana. INTERESTELAR será o primeiro de uma série de livros que o novo selo editorial GRYPHUS GEEK oferecerá a seus leitores. O selo será dedicado à publicação de obras de ficção que remetam ao universo geek a partir de filmes, seriados de televisão ou livros originais. Ao lançar os livros Supernatural, a Gryphus Editora constatou existir um amplo público formado por leitores jovens adultos, ávidos por novidades desse segmento. GRYPHUS GEEK foi criado exatamente para atender essa demanda, oferecendo obras de prestígio e qualidade desse fascinante universo geek. O livro INTERESTELAR consegue explicar com clareza a teoria do físico Kip Thorne, que inspirou esta incrível história de ficção científica. Não é por nada que o filme, estrelado por Matthew McConaughey e Anne Hathaway,tornou-se imediatamente um cult mundial. No entanto, graças ao livro, com suas 268 páginas, as complexas e sofisticadas teorias desenvolvidas por Kip Thorne ficam accessíveis à maioria dos leitores. O filme, por sua vez, até pela sua própria linguagem e natureza, não consegue 'traduzir' toda a profundidade e dimensão da história. Um livro profundo e interessante, para aqueles que viram o filme e para os que se preocupam com o futuro da humanidade.

Interstellar

Covering the eighty-plus years of the life of Minnie OBrien,The Banyan Treeis a rich saga of rural Ireland in the twentieth century. In prose as lushly layered as the land it describes, Nolan lovingly details the triumphs and tragedies of this spirited woman, who struggles to keep body and soul, as well as her modest hopes, alive. While her three grown children have long since moved away, she is determined to keep her familys farm from the tightening grip of her unscrupulous neighbor, in the hope that one day her youngest will return to claim what is rightfully his. Weaving from the gentle world of Minnies youth to the harder realities of the present, this sage and soulful story pays homage to a feisty individual spirit as well as a rich collective past.

Christopher Nolan's Memento is an intricate, original, fascinating thriller, hailed by Philip French of the Observer as 'one of the year's most exciting pictures'. Its protagonist Leonard (Guy Pearce) is a puzzle, even to himself. He sports the trappings of an expensive lifestyle, yet he lives in seedy motels, and seems to be on a desperate mission of revenge to find the man who murdered his wife. Worse, Leonard suffers from a rare form of amnesia that plagues his short-term memory, so in order to keep track of his life, he must surround himself with written reminders, some of them etched onto his own flesh. In this state, Leonard finds that nothing is what it seems, and no one can easily be trusted.Following (1998) was Christopher Nolan's micro-budgeted debut feature. Bill (Jeremy Theobald), a lonely would-be writer, spends his considerable free time stalking strangers at random through the streets of London. This vicarious form of 'research' takes an unexpected turn when Bill is caught out by one of his quarries: a suave cat burglar who introduces him to the art of breaking and entering. Soon Bill is striking up a liaison with a girl whose flat he has turned over. But Bill discovers too late that he is out of his depth.This volume includes both screenplays, plus an interview with Christopher Nolan and Jeremy Theobald in which they talk to James Mottram about the making of Following, and a piece by Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan, author of the story on which Memento was based, in which they recall the conception of the film.

Memento & Following

In OPPENHEIMER Christopher Nolan has fashioned a story of discovery bathed in the light of a thousand suns - but one that is darkened by govrrnment surveillance and the travesty of a trial to which Oppenheimer was subjected.

A group of explorers make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.

On an overgrown and rundown farm in Ireland in the late 1980s widowed Minnie O¿Brien (a shopkeeper¿s daughter in the village) remembers the past: courtship and marriage to craftsman-farmer Peter, the lover of her life, whom she met at a country fair; their wedding and Dublin honeymoon in 1922; life on the farm; the births of three children; and what became of them. Brendan goes off to be a missionary in Africa; Sheila is a nurse at Guy¿s hospital; Frankie seeks freedom in the Australian outback. Between the turf-cutting and roof-laying, ceilidhs and hurling matches of her early married days and the ¿modern¿ age of mains electricity and ¿airoplaines¿ lie well-worn footpaths of reminiscence down which Minnie rambles contentedly as she waits for her men to come home.

Extensive reading improves fluency and there is a real need in the ELT classroom for motivating, contemporary graded material that will instantly appeal to students. Batman Begins is based on the 2005 blockbuster movie and will be immediately recognisable to teens of all nationalities.

Supplementary materials compilation

Christopher Nolan Director's Collection

Dam Burst of Dreams is a collection of the unique writings of Christy Nolan, who has never been able to speak of totally control his movements. His remarkable talent was only released when he was introduced to a muscular relaxant drug which has given him sufficient control to compose, first with the aid of an electric typewriter and now with a processor, manipulated by a 'unicorn' stick attached to his head.
