Shone collaborated with Christopher Nolan for an in-depth look at the filmmaker's work, called The Nolan Variations: The Movies, Mysteries, and Marvels of Christopher Nolan (2020). Library Journal wrote in their review that "this is the definitive word on Nolan and a must for film buffs." Neal Gabler called the book "intelligent, illuminating, rigorous, and highly readable. The very model of what a filmmaking study should be. Essential reading for anyone who cares about Nolan or about film for that matter." (en) |
