Christopher Nolan Retrospective
Before you see Interstellar, get a glimpse of Nolan at his most complex and spectacular.
Overview
Nobody makes blockbusters quite like Christopher Nolan. The mastermind behind Inception and The Dark Knight trilogy, this British-born filmmaker has an incredible knack for blending complex storytelling with jaw-dropping visual spectacle. To celebrate the release of his latest work, Interstellar, the team at the Astor Theatre are bringing a selection of his grandest movies back to the big screen. Better yet, a number of them will be shown with pristine 35mm film prints, just as their maker intended.
Indeed, while most of the film industry has made the jump to digital video, Nolan is one of the only directors in Hollywood who still insists on shooting with film. His old-school commitment to celluloid makes him a perfect fit for The Astor, as the single screen movie palace remains among a small handful of cinemas in Australia still capable of projecting film prints.
The Astor Nolan retrospective begins on November 13, with the dream-hopping action thriller, Inception. After a week off, the series picks up with his Batman saga over three consecutive Thursdays, before concluding with Interstellar (in 2K digital) on December 18.
