IMAX ’ s cameras were strapped to Spitfires during filming
DUNKIRK IS AN exhausting cinematic experience . Two hours of relentless suspense and atmosphere centred around three intertwining fates , it is a struggle to recall a more striking demonstration of what IMAX cameras can deliver on the big screen .
Christopher Nolan has done it before with IMAX , not least with the revived Batman franchise and Interstellar . Branded ‘ a master ’ by Giovanni Dolci , IMAX ’ s Vice President of Theatre
Development and MD for Europe and Africa , Nolan ’ s partnership with the business is now a proven formula . “ On a practical level , we just give him our cameras ,” Dolci says . “ However , there is much more to it than that . It is a constant process . Chris Nolan effectively designed Dunkirk with IMAX in mind , and we try to support him in any way we can to make that vision come true .”
