Christopher Nolan wanted to tell Dunkirk in most visceral way

Featuring actors like Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh and One Direction star Harry Styles, the film centres on the British military evacuation of the French city of Dunkirk in 1940, which is one of the biggest battles during the war. The film is told through the eyes of three soldiers. Dunkirk is slated to release on July 21.

Although Christopher Nolan has not bagged an Oscar, he has managed to develop a fanbase of his own with films like Inception, The Prestige, Following, Memento, Insomnia and Interstellar to name a few. The director also managed to reinvent Batman with his Batman Trilogy — Batman Begin, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises — which starred Christian Bale as the Caped Crusader.
