She revealed that the 52-year-old British-American filmmaker is someone, who is incredibly meticulous and has unmatched attention to detail. Pugh also discussed the intense level of planning and dedication that Nolan demands of his cast (and crew), referring to it as both difficult and rewarding.
The Oscar-nominated actress praised Dark Knight director in a BBC Radio 1 interview, saying that he was a true “professional” in every way.
Florence Pugh Calls Christopher Nolan a ‘Master’
It goes without saying that celebrated filmmaker, Christopher Nolan is renowned for his skill in bringing intricate and thought-provoking stories to life on screen. His films, which range from Inception to Dunkirk, have enthralled viewers all over the world with their breathtaking visuals and powerful performances.
Therefore, it is not surprising that MCU star, Florence Pugh, had nothing but positive things to say about the director and the experience of working on the upcoming movie.
In an interview with BBC Radio 1, Pugh gushed about Nolan, the director of The Dark Knight trilogy, praising his dedication to the art of filmmaking, calling him “just a master”.
To quote her:
“Working with Christopher Nolan was quite possibly one of the most thrilling experiences in a different way, partly because he works with professionals. He is a professional. But his dedication to the craft of filmmaking and old filmmaking is just magical to watch.”
The Midsommar actress also praised the amazing special effects and set design that were used to create the Oppenheimer universe. She claimed that being on set was like traveling back in time to the 1940s because every aspect and detail had been carefully planned to give the actors and audience an immersive experience.
“To just watch every single crew member on that set work so hard for him, to get his approval. And not like in a weird way, but like everybody knows who they’re working for and everybody’s proud of being there. Everybody has so much pride in their own work and so what that does is it means that everybody is constantly trying to be better the next day. And I’ve never seen that feeling on set before.”
