Screenwriting tips from Nolan's Filmography: Unravelling Cinematic Complexity

This episode is dedicated to unpicking the intricate and mind-bending films of Christopher Nolan. Join us as we explore the techniques behind his masterful storytelling, from the fragmented narratives of Memento to the dream-weaving realities of Inception.

We will guide you through Nolan's signature techniques, breaking down complex concepts like the "fabula" and "syuzhet" – terms used to understand how Nolan manipulates chronology and audience perception. We'll analyse how he employs these techniques in his most celebrated films, examining:

• The art of non-linear storytelling and how it enhances suspense and emotional impact.
• How Nolan uses visual language and minimal dialogue to create intensely subjective experiences, immersing viewers in the characters' perspectives.
