Christopher Nolan recently brought one of the smartest concepts to one of the most pivotal moments in history. In Dunkirk, Nolan ruptures the linear clock time of one of the most chaotic events we’ve ever been taught. The fact that there is no chronological order in this film gives it strange durations, that makes it a subjective experience where all sense of time is lost, giving the audience a feeling of being lost, lost in the story. This is Nolan’s way of making the viewers subconsciously feel – at least a tiny, tiny part – of what the soldiers were going through at Dunkirk. And that is what makes this film of the escape from France during the second world war – something that has been told time and time again –feel so haunting and real.
