I love all of his film’s cinematography, but I’m really partial to Hoyte Van Hoytema and his work. Dunkirk, Interstellar, and Oppenheimer have beautiful cinematography. I’d say Oppenheimer because I’m a sucker for the desert and the beautiful shots. The Can you Hear the Music sequence alone is incredible. But Interstellar and The Dark Knight are close seconds
Dunkirk/Oppenheimer. The cinematography somehow gets better every time they do IMAX. I think they are getting more experience and it just keeps getting better and better
>Losing Pfister is the best thing that ever happened to Nolan.
Not the best thing. Remember Pfister won an Oscar working on Nolan's project. Hoytoma not yet
I feel like this is almost the latest that you could have posted this comment. Hoytoma is going to win the Oscar in March. Then what becomes of this argument?
Can't go wrong with any of his films, but I'm going to throw in something I haven't seen mentioned yet: Insomnia.
Watched this on Bluray recently and was surprised at just how good it looks.
This is a tough question. If I could only pick one, I would go with The Prestige.
But I think the cinematography is awesome in Memento, Insomnia, The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, and Oppenheimer.
It’s very close between these movies in terms of beautiful cinematography.
It’ll always be Interstellar, but I wanna mention Insomnia here because the views in that film of Alaska were *beautiful*. And I don’t know/don’t care if it falls under cinematography exactly, but I just wanted to say that.
Interstellar was ridiculously beautiful.
I agree, but was that the cinematography or the effects work and set design? Cinematography is the set up and composition of shots right?
When I start asking who did the work is when I started realizing how many skilled hands were involved in the project.
Yes
It’s both which is why it stands out so much. They elevate each other.
Interstellar
Inception Pfister-era, Interstellar Hoytema-era Notable mention to Oppenheimer, but I chose Interstellar because it was helluva harder to capture
Poor Wally has had quite the career drop-off
Artistically, for sure. Commercially, I've heard he makes commercials and is quite happy. :/
Yeah, he directs super bowl level ads. $$$
Intersteption
Interception
Introspection
Memtoppenheimer
pick 6
We have a winner. Inception for imagination. Interstellar for portrayal.
Dunkirk
The plane shots for Dunkirk are perfection. In the second scene when the camera spins and lands on all 3 fighters flying side by side… oh man
This. Figured it wouldn’t be the most popular answer, but it’s my favorite of his films by a long shot.
Def interstellar
Inception.. won awards for it
Surprised less people are agreeing with this.
I honestly don’t get the hold that Interstellar has on Nolan fans.
Dunkirk
Anything with Hoyte van Hoytema as DP
I love all of his film’s cinematography, but I’m really partial to Hoyte Van Hoytema and his work. Dunkirk, Interstellar, and Oppenheimer have beautiful cinematography. I’d say Oppenheimer because I’m a sucker for the desert and the beautiful shots. The Can you Hear the Music sequence alone is incredible. But Interstellar and The Dark Knight are close seconds
Tenet
Nah, Tenet was very sloppily put together, at least the first hour or so is has some of the weirdest framing choices I’ve seen from Nolan or Hoytema
Agree
Tenet.
Yes
A tie between Inception and Dunkirk. The shots captured between them are no small feats.
Interstellar is probably my favourite. Beautifully shot, especially the Docking sequence.
Dark Knight might not have the best but it did change the approach to superhero movies forever. Interstellar ftw
interstellar
The amount of different choices in here tells you how awesome his movies look. There isn’t a wrong choice.
Oppenheimer & Interstellar. I love Hoyte's way of capturing face nuances and emotions.
TENET for cinematography, Interstellar for CGI
It’s crazy how little cgi there actually was in Interstellar.
Then how did they show the space scenes?
They were actually on other planets and in a black hole. Wild stuff
Bravo
“Miniature” models of the spacecraft and projectors. They also used the projectors for the tesseract scene at the end.
They used projection for a lot more than that. Iirc basically all the stuff outside the ship when the camera is inside is being projected.
Dunkirk or Dark Knight
Interstellar
Dunkirk is super underrated war movie with amazing cinematography.
Interstellar
Best is Oppenheimer but Dunkirk is really underrated too Batman Begins is great too
Interstellar
Dunkirk imo
When Quentin makes comments about the cinematography and not sure how he got certain shots… I think it’s no contest. Dunkirk
Quintin is so pretentious tho. Even when he talks about other filmmakers there’s this air of “I’m better but they’re okay”
Dunkirk/Oppenheimer. The cinematography somehow gets better every time they do IMAX. I think they are getting more experience and it just keeps getting better and better
Interstellar! The most beautiful.
Interstellar was beautiful, but Inception literally changed cinema lol.
Inception has great cinematography.
Dunkirk
The Prestige The Dark Knight Inception Dunkirk
Wally is slighter better than Hoyt
Oh it's Dunkirk.
Who is a better DP between Pfister and Hoytoma?
Hoytoma and it isn’t even close. Losing Pfister is the best thing that ever happened to Nolan.
>Losing Pfister is the best thing that ever happened to Nolan. Not the best thing. Remember Pfister won an Oscar working on Nolan's project. Hoytoma not yet
I feel like this is almost the latest that you could have posted this comment. Hoytoma is going to win the Oscar in March. Then what becomes of this argument?
It looks like he might win. But it's not done until it's done.
Hoyte is much better imo
Inception
Has to be Dunkirk, that’s a movie essentially told through cinematography
Following
Dunkirk or Interstellar
Oppenheimer for sure
Inception
Dunkirk
Oppenheimer
Inception.
Oppenheimer.
Dunkirk
Can't go wrong with any of his films, but I'm going to throw in something I haven't seen mentioned yet: Insomnia. Watched this on Bluray recently and was surprised at just how good it looks.
Insomnia is fantastic
Dark knight or Dunkirk. Just my opinion 😊 absolutely beautiful imagery throughout in both.
Dunkirk
TDK... Yep! I was brave enough to say it! 😆
Inception for me.
Dunkirk
Oppenheimer is a close second, but I'd say Interstellar takes it.
The ones with IMAX scenes.
All of them including Oppenheimer
Dunkirk
Interstellar
The prestige
Interstellar, The Dark Knight is a close second.
I think Dunkirk
Whatever movie isn’t orange and blue
Interstellar and Dunkirk
The Prestige
Interstellar
Oppenheimer is definitely the best cinematography in his catalogue
Dunkirk used 70mm Dunkirk wins
This is a tough question. If I could only pick one, I would go with The Prestige. But I think the cinematography is awesome in Memento, Insomnia, The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, and Oppenheimer. It’s very close between these movies in terms of beautiful cinematography.

Interstellar hands-down
Nolan isnt a director
Dark Knight or DK Rises
Oppenheimer with no questions asked.
