I read the whole interview, and it's an intriguing insight into Christopher Nolan's mindset about the film industry and his feelings going into making Dunkirk. I'm glad he shows the same respect he has for animated films that he has for cerebral films made by filmmakers like Orson Welles and Stanley Kubrick.
