Description
The Fictional Christopher Nolan explores how fiction plays a crucial role in leading to truth. Through close readings of all Christopher Nolan's films from Memento and Insomnia to Inception, Todd McGowan reveals that the fiction or lie comes before the truth.
McGowan argues that Nolan's films demonstrate the ethical and political importance of creating fictions and even lying. By examining how Nolan uses the tendency of cinema to deceive as a basis for philosophical filmmaking, McGowan shows how his films align with Hegel's philosophy.
This book provides a new perspective on the nature of truth and its relationship to fiction in film. It offers a unique insight into Christopher Nolan's filmmaking style and its significance in contemporary cinema.
