Thanks to MUBI for their support! Get your 30 day free trial of MUBI here: http://mubi.com/thomasflight After Tenet, Interstellar, Dunkirk, and The Dark Knight Rises, people have complained about not being able to hear or understand some lines of dialogue in Christopher Nolan's films. In this video, I look at the explanations Nolan has given, and who is right, Nolan or the audience. // Citations: Hollywood Reporter Interview: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/behind-screen/christopher-nolan-breaks-silence-interstellar-749465 Indiewire: https://www.indiewire.com/2017/07/dunkirk-too-loud-christopher-nolan-1201860027/ The Nolan Variations: https://amzn.to/3teMZWh // WATCH MORE THOMAS FLIGHT -Ad-Free Videos and Exclusive Content on Nebula: https://go.nebula.tv/thomasflight -My Podcast Cinema of Meaning: Ad-free and early on Nebula: Nebula: https://nebula.tv/cinemaofmeaning Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4n6zZZQjiKsLNfyldNAi8b iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cinema-of-meaning/id1611352831 -Rent or Buy My Experimental Documentary: https://labyrinthion.com -Read My Newsletter: https://thomasflight.substack.com/ // SUPPORT MY WORK -Support my Channel directly on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thomasflight Patrons get access to a discord community, monthly podcast reviews of everything I watch, and more! -Sign up for Nebula using my Link: https://go.nebula.tv/thomasflight Signing Up for Nebula using my link supports my channel financially. // FOLLOW ME -Twitter: https://twitter.com/thomasflight -Website: http://www.thomasflight.com -Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/thomasflight/ -TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thomas.flight // CONTACT ME -sponsorship and Business inquiries: [email protected] -Questions, feedback, other stuff: [email protected] (check out my FAQ as well: https://www.thomasflight.com/faq) #ThomasFlight #videoessay 00:00 Intro: "What did they say? 00:59 I.
