Christopher Nolan’s entire film catalogue set for big screen return

Christopher Nolan is heading back to the big screen in a huge way, and film fans are already calling it the cinema event of the summer.

The 55-year-old Oscar-winning director is being honoured with a massive retrospective at the Toronto International Film Festival ahead of the release of his hotly anticipated new epic, The Odyssey.

The season, titled Christopher Nolan: Grand Designs, will run from July 8 until August 20 at Toronto’s TIFF Lightbox cinema, with every one of the filmmaker’s 12 feature films returning to the big screen in glorious 35mm and 70mm formats.

That means movie lovers will get another chance to experience classics including The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar and Oppenheimer exactly as Nolan intended.

The tribute also revisits the cultural chaos of “Barbenheimer”, with a special quote-along screening of Barbie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling playing directly before Oppenheimer on July 18.

Nolan first launched his career at TIFF back in 1998 with his debut feature Following, and has since become one of Hollywood’s most powerful directors thanks to his love of practical effects and large-format filmmaking.

While the filmmaker is not expected to attend in person, excitement is already building around The Odyssey.
