While the news that Christopher Nolan’s next movie will be an adaptation of The Odyssey is exciting, this does represent a major departure for the director. All of Christopher Nolan’s movies are different, but there are a few major thematic preoccupations that link the director’s works to each other. Nolan’s earlier efforts, like Following, Memento, and Insomnia, all tackle the slippy nature of memory and the subjective nature of reality. His Dark Knight trilogy is concerned with narratives of law and order against anarchy, and questions of what constitutes justice in a morally gray, ambitious world.
