This new edition explores the life and work of acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan. Since our 2022 edition, Nolan has solidified his place among cinema’s greatest directors, winning his first Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture with Oppenheimer. This new edition examines the film’s background and success, and also offers early insights into The Odyssey, his upcoming Greek epic set for release in June 2026. ‘What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient…highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it’s almost impossible to eradicate.’ - Cobb, Inception How has Nolan become this leading director? Is he the new Kubrick? What do audiences get out of his games? Visually, he offers a steely science-fiction noir with the highlights of big stars and a magician’s flourishes, whether he is tackling Victorian London or the far reaches of outer space. In narrative terms, his films twist and turn, provoking as many questions as they answer. This book will look to crack open the magic box of Nolan’s twisting universe. As a character, he eludes easy answers. Veteran film author Ian Nathan’s research will lean into deciphering his cryptic pronouncements and motivations alongside the history and making of his films. Examining both the making of and the inspiration behind his many, many hit films, from The Prestige (2006) to the hugely successful Batman films, through to his mind-bending science fiction works such as Inception (2014) and Tenet (2020). And released in 2023, Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy as the film's titular American scientist and his role in the development of the atomic bomb. Filled with striking visuals and rich insights, this book offers a compelling look into the mind of one of contemporary cinema’s greatest visionaries. This new edition brings the exploration fully up to date.

Christopher Hill

Christopher Hill

Michael Braddick

Verso Books
2026
nidottu
In this brilliant work of biography, Michael Braddick charts the life of Christopher Hill, one of the leading historians of his generation. From his abandonment of the respectable, provincial Methodism of his youth, through his embrace of Marxism, to his membership and eventual break with the Communist Party, as well as his celebrated intellectual career, Hill was an enigmatic figure. Across more than fifteen books and dozens of articles fundamentally rewrote the way we understand the English Revolution and the development of the modern British state. While his career brought many of the trappings of establishment respectability - he was both a Fellow of the British Academy and the Master of Balliol College, Oxford - he was also seen as a threat to that very same establishment. Under surveillance by the security services for decades, in the 1980s Hill was publicly accused of having been a Soviet agent during the war. Braddick's judicious biography not only situates Hill's life and work in their historical context but seeks to rescue Hill for a new generation of readers.
