Christopher Nolan’s upcoming war drama Dunkirk makes extensive use of IMAX camerawork, including a plethora of handheld shots.
For his film Interstellar, Nolan raised the technical bar by moving beyond traditional IMAX camerawork and employing a small amount of handheld IMAX, an approach that among other things proved to be a great physical challenge for his cameraman.
For his new film Dunkirk, a World War II survival drama, Nolan stretched out his use of handheld IMAX even more in going for a combination of realism and hugeness.
I think the confusion, not knowing what’s really going on, was one of the most frightening and disturbing things for people.”
