Symphonic Warfare In viewing the vast array of films that he's so effortlessly and boldly directed to audiences that are either thrilled mentally or physically, it's not hard to fathom that Christopher Nolan is an illusive film-maker that thrives in creating a surrealistic spectacle. From the dexterous narrative formalities of Momento to the cinematic trickery seen through the lens of Inception and The Prestige , it's clear to note that Nolan likes to ensnare the viewers gaze with instinctive film-making that no other attainable director can simply replicate. How intriguing it is then to witness the visceral experience of  Nolan's latest screen-grabber of Dunkirk ; a war film that is stemmed in immersive realism, rather then surrealism, that encompasses creative sensibilities that keep our eyes fixated on the events that follow.
