From sci-fi thrillers to historical dramas via layered mysteries and three hugely successful Batman films, few directors inspire as much devotion as Christopher Nolan.
You know the fans we're talking about. The Nolanites who gush about every film and batter away recurring criticism of style-over-substance, emotional coldness, or the fact that he'd do well to forgo non-chronological narrative tampering in order to prioritise three-dimensional female characters that aren't just there to be dead wives.
Then there are those who recognise these pitfalls but can't deny that the Oscar winner continues to wow with an eclectic filmography featuring reoccurring motifs, arresting visual flourishes, and an ability to command top-notch talent both in front and behind the camera.
Whichever camp you're in, and whatever you may think of his box-office dominating latest, The Odyssey, Euronews Culture looks back and re-assesses all of the director's movies from weakest to strongest.
