At least up until Interstellar Nolan\’s films have all been all variations on thrillers and focus on getting you into the head of the protagonist (who like Hitchcock\’s best hero\’s is always someone acting on the wrong side of the law) and sharing what they feel. Whether it\’s Memento twisting you around until you cannot remember what happened to minutes ago, Inception planting in your head the idea that reality is a dream, the guilt of De Niro following us throughout Insomnia or disagreeing on what\’s trickery and what\’s breaking the rules in The Prestige. Kubrick is rightly admired for his great output in many different genres, but his characters were always rather inscrutable to me.
