	"Following" Britain's Neo-Noirist, Christopher Nolan
		Christopher Nolan's intriguing debut film follows an aspiring writer who stalks people to spark his creativity.
		Christopher Nolan: My idea was quite a simple one, which is just to tell a story in the fashion in which we are actually used to receiving stories in real life.
		Nolan: When you have no money, it can be shrewd to find subject matter that lends itself to that sort of fl and white, noirish type approach, because you can do harder lighting.

	Christopher Nolan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Christopher Nolan (born July 30, 1970) is an Academy Award nominated film director, writer and producer.
		The son of an English father and American mother, Nolan is a dual citizen of the United Kingdom and United States.

	Amazon.de: Under the Eye of the Clock: A Memoir: English Books: Christopher Nolan,John Carey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Nolan, whose disability requires that someone cup his chin while he pushes a head-mounted pointer at the keyboard, tells here of battles in an un-handicapped world, the heroic efforts of his family and the sights of Ireland that surround him.
		Christopher Nolan's "Under The Eye Of The Clock" is an autobiographical account of his incredibly awe-inspiring and miraculous life.
		Nolan stretches the meanings and implications of words, rearranges their spelling, and even invents new ones to communicate his moods and perceptions and illuminate life, his own and those he observes, with his unique poet's sensibility.

	SPLICEDwire \| Christopher Nolan interview for "Insomnia" (2002)
		So Nolan turned his focus to a low-budget noir thriller he'd been writing (from a short story by his brother), a reverse-chronological allegory of revenge and amnesia called "Memento" -- which became 2001's must-see sleeper hit and landed Nolan a job he'd never dreamed of before.
		Fast-forward to May 2002 and Nolan's "Insomnia" is one of the biggest buzz movies of the summer.
		Nolan seems to be even more impressed with Robin Williams, who gives an incredible, uncanny departure performance as the killer, a mystery novelist who is so seemingly ordinary that "you wouldn't notice him sitting next to you on the bus."

	Christopher Nolan - Biography - Moviefone
		Noting that this concept was much more prevalent and common in print than on film, he began to expand on the idea, eventually combining it with his fascination with the concept of breaking down personal barriers after his London flat was burglarized and he curiously speculated on the burglar's impression of himself and his life.
		Wanting to give the viewer an experience that was more than they could absorb in a single viewing, he spent the next few years refining the complexities of the screenplay to create what he felt would be an involving and demanding experience that audiences would want to revisit after their initial viewing.
		Nolan's next project became a remake of the tense Norwegian thriller Insomnia (1997).

	Nolan, Christopher: Under the Eye of the Clock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Born breech and deprived of oxygen for two hours, Irish poet and writer Christopher Nolan was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and is unable to speak and virtually unable to move voluntarily.
		In terms of disability, Nolan's stance is poised between endorsing the idea that his body is a prison or coffin--and that he should be incredibly grateful for the kindness of non-disabled people--and claiming himself valuable in the particularity that marks his body as in his distinctive intellectual and creative abilities.
		While Nolan's book doesn't overtly argue that disability is social, environmental, and interpersonal in nature, the memoir offers successive examples--all encouraging--of this reality; the entire Meehan family is actively involved from dawn to dawn in providing the assistance that gets Joseph to school on time or allows him to complete his weekly college essay.

	P R O J E C T - A - CHRISTOPHER NOLAN & JEREMY THEOBALD
		Christopher: If you watch the film a second time and you know the ending I think the structure becomes much clearer and why it is told this way becomes much clearer.
		Christopher: Well to tell you the truth, in working with actors and working with Jerry, I think actors need to concentrate on their acting and play the character.
		Christopher: I found when people were reading the script that they were more confused by reading the script then they were by seeing the film.

	INTERVIEW: Mindgames; Christopher Nolan Remembers "Memento"
		Christopher Nolan: There's this weird irony, because you actually find yourself as a filmmaker in the position of the protagonist that has to trust these notes he's written himself.
		Nolan: It's been a weird organic process, because my brother told me the concept when he was writing the story.
		Nolan: Since I was a child, I've been really interested in the concept of empathy between individuals and the concept of putting yourself in someone else's shoes and that kind of relativism.

	Amazon.fr : The Banyan Tree: Livres en anglais: Christopher Nolan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Nolan's alliterations and galloping hyphenation evoke not only Joyce but the whimsical beauty of Gerard Manley Hopkins.
		Nolan's lyrical flights, highly evidenced in his Whitbread-winning memoir, Under the Eye of the Clock, published when he was 21, fly even higher here, a mix of the unabstract poetries of Beckett and the soundscapes of James Joyce.
		Nolan, for all the Celtic emoting he accommodates here, remains clear-eyed; and there are no pat solutions or tidy conclusions to this tale that stays true to life while at the same time redeeming it through a love of language and a belief in its ability to forge lasting ties among people and things.

	Christopher Nolan (1970 - )
		Nolan may have drawn inspiration from performance artist Sophie Calle's infamous shadowing of strangers, or even her fictive equivalent in Paul Auster's novel Leviathan.
		Nolan keenly exploits cinema's narrative potential, busily flipping scenes so actions teasingly precede exposition in a way that hasn't been seen here since Nicolas Roeg's Bad Timing (1980).
		Nolan's emotional aim may not be as high as Roeg's, but then his film doesn't pose the latter's painful, existential questions.

	Combustible Celluloid interview - Christopher Nolan, Insomnia (2002)
		I'm talking about Christopher Nolan, the 31-year old filmmaker whose mother was American and father was English (he speaks with an English accent).
		Watching Nolan as he carefully squeezes a lemon into a cup of tea, I see a man who's clearly in love with film, and has a talent for shaping it into something unusual, just like Orson Welles.
		Indeed, Nolan seems to have learned a few lessons from film history and is prepared to carefully carve his own unique way through the business.

	Directors Who Matter - Christopher Nolan
		Pressure is something Christopher Nolan is used to, but after helming the art-house hit Memento and the taut thriller Insomnia, the stakes were decidedly higher with Batman Begins, which charts the previously untold tale of the Dark Knight's mysterious origins.
		Doing something different with Batman is what appealed to Nolan and he took the tact of setting it in the quasi-real world (or as much as possible, considering the hero dresses up as a bat) and treating the character as a fallible human as opposed to an unstoppable superhero.
		Since Nolan is part of the last generation who grew up shooting and cutting their first shorts and student films on Super 8 and 16mm film, he feels he was very fortunate to have had that experience.

		NOLAN: Well, I think when it's harnessed, and that is a form of control, that doesn't mean it's not there and it doesn't mean it's suppressed it's channeled and it's harnessed.
		NOLAN: The challenge wasn't really to me, it was to the stunt co-coordinator and the physical effects guy.

	Christopher Nolan on Batman Begins - Superhero Hype!
		Christopher Nolan, who has received critical acclaim for Memento and Insomnia, has brought back the Dark Knight in Batman Begins, which explores the origins of the Batman legend and his emergence as a force for good in Gotham.
		Nolan: My approach with actors is to try and give them whatever it is they need from me. Direction to me is about listening and responding to about how much they need to know from me and how much they have figured out for themselves really.
		Nolan: Yes, to a certain extent, but he was also very specific in what he wanted to do and he drew from a lot of certain influences that I agreed with in terms of the graphic novels.

		Having made the transition from making an independent favorite to an all-star blockbuster, the 35-year-old Nolan is working on science fiction, preparing for production of the Batman sequel—he took a call from Michael Caine during the interview—and steering his career higher and higher.
		Nolan: To me, he's not selfish in terms of how the word is generally understood—he's not obtaining personal gratification in an immediate sense.
		Nolan: It's interesting that you say that because, particularly with Batman, there's a demand, particularly from the fans, that you treat it with appropriate darkness and, to me, it was never about making a darker film.
