Layered Butter: Christopher Nolan

"The secret impresses no one. The trick you use it for is everything."

“Quote”

Christopher Nolan’s cerebral blockbusters push storytelling to the edge—where non-linear timelines, metaphysical questions, and practical effects collide. In this volume, we explore Nolan's ambitious filmography through stunning international artwork and insightful writing curated by Layered Butter. From Memento to Tenet, this issue dissects how Nolan constructs emotional resonance within his complex structures. We chose Nolan for his unique ability to make intellectual cinema thrilling and commercially successful—a paradox we couldn’t resist unpacking.

“Alternative movie posters should offer you more than what you get anywhere else. It should have layers, it should be deeper. It is for lack of a better term, artisanal.”

— Interview with Matt Ryan Tobin

“I think the goal of an artist is to kind of look around it all, see what is possible, what others have done, cherry pick what you like aesthetically the most, and turn that into something that you put out. Hopefully you create something that’s new.”

— Interview with Jason Edmiston
