Seduction and Exploration of Existence

Abstract

What does cinema know about existence that we do not? What can we learn from cinema about our existence? What can we learn, for example, from Christopher Nolan’s films? Undoubtedly, how the mechanisms of cinema work. Also, how cinema can construct and question identity. But above all, we get a very unique sense of how time works—and what temporality means for our existence. Nolan’s cinema is an invitation to existential philosophical reflection through cinematic time constructions.
