Episode Category : “Let’s Dismantle” (Scene Breakdown)

Those who criticise Christopher Nolan that he narrated Dunkirk in 3 timelines/ perspectives just because he is obsessed with asynchronous timelines have failed to see the big picture. There is a much more innate valid reason why it was narrated in 3 timelines and for me, he is the master of asynchronous timelines. Let’s dismantle a sequence close to the resolution of Dunkirk and learn more on how to write and direct a suspenseful sequence through visual narrative.
