My love/hate relation with Nolan

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2017)

Memento is in my opinion the best directed film of all time. Prestige I love. Interstellar, Inception, Dark Knights all very good movies.
So Dankirk. Let's take that patch right of and say: "Dankirk lacks deep characters and emotions. Dankirk also lacks interesting dialog (or even dialog all together).
On a technical perspective this movie is perfect. The musical score is 10/10 The camera work is 10/10 The acting is very good, but the actors really don't get an opportunity to shine.
Nolan managed to make spectacle scenes without Hollywood bs. The movie is tense and the tension doesn't feel forced, like in most modern Hollywood movies.
Definitely the movie is something different, especial for Nolan. I would say this is his take on a more minimalist approach to characters, which helps the tension and the technical aspect of the move, shine even more.
Nolan recently said he would never do superhero movies again, he obviously wants too try himself in different genres and ways of filming, and I can only salute that. Even though that means I will not get another Memento or Prestige so soon.
