	SPLICEDwire Christopher Nolan interview for "Insomnia" (2002)
		Fast-forward to May 2002 and Nolan's "Insomnia" is one of the biggest buzz movies of the summer.
		Warner's owned the rights to the film about a complex murder case in a town north of the Arctic Circle, where the sun doesn't set in the summer, and much to Nolan's disappointment they'd just hired a writer named Hillary Seitz to pen an American version of the film.
		His first feature-length film was a cleverly convoluted black-and-white 1998 thriller called "Following," about a young Londoner whose proclivity for fairly harmless voyeurism gets him framed for a major crime.

	Amazon.com: Insomnia (Widescreen Edition): DVD
		Insomnia is a must see movie, and a welcome change from the "blockbuster" summer movie scene of 2002.
		Insomnia would have benefited, however, from more ambiguity of motivation - while the acting is top notch, especially on the part of Robin Williams, the connections between the characters actions and their motivations and decisions is too closely drawn by the script.
		Insomnia works well without elaborate plot twists, however, it's mood benefits from a certain lack of ambiguity of action, although the ending is perhaps a little to predictable and cliched.

	Memento
		That will not be the case for Memento, or for his next, Insomnia, (2002) which has a large budget and major cast including Oscar winners Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hilary Swank.
		Appropriately enough, Memento is the Latin word for "memory." I consider this a memorable film and find myself liking it even better as I think more about it.
		His first film, Following (1998), is a 70 minute, tiny budgeted black and white effort shot and shown in 16 mm.

	The Cue Awards (2002) Presented by Tracksounds
		As wonderful as Shore's work for the Two Towers was, James Newton Howard's music for Signs within the context of the film, was the most impacting and memorable for 2002.
		While David Julyan really isn't "brand new" to the world film music, his effort for Insomnia certainly qualifies him for "break out composer of the year," and since there is no such category (this year), he gets this auspicious award!
		On the flip side, aside from "Across the Stars" the music for Star Wars: Attack of Clones eventually becomes excruciatingly "vanilla." In part due to my Star-Wars-lofty-expectations and, in part, due to some of the worst music editing I've heard in years, Attack of the Clones earns the biggest disappointment of the year.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Christopher Nolan - 2002 - Insomnia Movies Review
		In fact if Christopher Nolan (of deservedly acclaimed Memento fame) had concentrated on the central characters’ personality defects without venturing into the titular disturbance, Insomnia might have been the fascinating movie it strived so hard to be.
		From the extended opening shots of Dormer’s arrival in Nightmute to the multiple establishing takes that introduce almost every scene, it’s as if Nolan is returning to film school and haphazardly exploring the different uses of the lens.
		While it's true that humans lose some sense of reality if they go without sleep for too long, this widely-known fact doesn’t necessarily make the best plot device for a film.

	Scope: An Online Journal of Film Studies
		However, Pacino’s presence here is somewhat overshadowed by his role in Insomnia (2002), last year’s beautifully made thriller that displayed how to make a taut, complex thriller based on similar themes.
		At least, in contrast to his most obvious contemporary Robert De Niro, he is not lending his name to lamentable comedies like Analyse That (2002) and The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000).
		When the wow factor is gone, all that is left is for us to judge the film -- as all films must ultimately be judged -- on the merits of its narrative and characters.

	SPLICEDwire Christopher Nolan interview for "Insomnia" (2002)
		Fast-forward to May 2002 and Nolan's "Insomnia" is one of the biggest buzz movies of the summer.
		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.
		But here, when we went to the edit suite, we were able to have a longer version of the film, we were able to pull out certain scenes, we could track things and play around."
