{"product_id":"pfm-christopher-nolan-pfm","title":"Pfm Christopher Nolan Pfm","description":"\u003cp\u003eChristopher Nolan is the writer and director of Hollywood blockbusters like \u003ci\u003eThe Dark Knight\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Dark Knight Rises\u003c\/i\u003e, and also of arthouse films like \u003ci\u003eMemento\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eInception\u003c\/i\u003e.  Underlying his staggering commercial success however, is a darker sensibility that questions the veracity of human knowledge, the allure of appearance over reality and the latent disorder in contemporary society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This appreciation of the sinister owes a huge debt to philosophy and especially modern thinkers like Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Jacques Derrida. Taking a thematic approach to Nolan’s oeuvre, Robbie Goh examines how the director’s postmodern inclinations manifest themselves in non-linearity, causal agnosticism, the threat of social anarchy and the frequent use of the \u003ci\u003emise en abyme\u003c\/i\u003e, while running counter to these are narratives of heroism, moral responsibility and the dignity of human choice. For Goh, Nolan is a ‘reluctant postmodernist’. His films reflect the cynicism of the modern world, but with their representation of heroic moral triumphs, they also resist it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57314738078078,"sku":"NW9781350139978","price":20.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781350139978.jpg?v=1778714249","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/pfm-christopher-nolan-pfm","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
