Did Inception represent the peak for this guy?

Is he now tumbling down the other side of the mountain?
Thoughts?

You clearly haven't seen Interstellar yet.

Also, though I've only seen 7 minutes of Dunkirk, coming from someone who isn't to war movies at all, the tension and the buildup in those seven minutes were huge. I was invested already. I'd say wait and see. I definitely don't think Nolan peaked with Inception, though I suppose that is a matter of opinion. I really liked The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, and loved Interstellar.

No, no I have - have actually been discussing it on that board, which is what got me thinking.
It's just that for me he kind of went:-
↗ The Prestige
↗ The Dark Knight
↗ Inception
↘ Dark Knight Rises
↘ Interstellar
Now Dunkirk might turn out to be a good film but I'm just a little worried that it seems highly unlikely that it will have the kind of innovative qualities that these "on the rise" films above had...

I think Dunkirk will be the next peak.

He's 46, there could be a dozen or more great movies from Nolan yet to come.
