Pau Gómez Publishes Reverse-Chronology Study of Christopher Nolan, «Nolan. La épica del tiempo»
Journalist Pau Gómez, who holds a doctorate in film, revisits Christopher Nolan's oeuvre with his new book, «Nolan. La épica del tiempo», set to be released by Editorial Blume in 2026. Spanning 188 pages, the book features a reverse chronological format, beginning with «La Odisea» and concluding with Nolan's first film, «Following», from 1998. Gómez previously authored «Christopher Nolan. Un mago en el laberinto» in 2014. An imagined dialogue with Nolan punctuates the retrospective. This analysis, presented at the Golem festival in Valencia from October 15 to 17, delves into the intricate narratives and temporal frameworks in works such as «Memento», «Origen», and «Interstellar», while noting «Tenet» as his least favorite.
