in 2017, nolan directed and produced "dunkirk", based on his own original screenplay. the story is set amid world war ii and the evacuation of allied soldiers from the beaches of dunkirk, france, in 1940. during the year-long production of his first film, "following", nolan and thomas hired a small sailing boat to take them across the english channel and retrace the journey of the little ships of dunkirk. "we did it at the same time of year to get a sense of what it was like, and it turned out to be an incredibly dangerous experience." describing the film as a survival tale with a triptych structure, he wanted to make a "sensory, almost experimental movie" with minimal dialogue. nolan said he waited to make "dunkirk" until he had earned the trust of a major studio to let him make it as a british film, but with an american budget. before filming, nolan also sought advice from spielberg, who later said in an interview with "variety", "knowing and respecting that chris [nolan] is one of the world's most imaginative filmmakers, my advice to him was to leave his imagination, as i did on "ryan", in second position to the research he was doing to authentically acquit this historical drama." starring fionn whitehead, jack lowden, aneurin barnard, harry styles, tom hardy, mark rylance, cillian murphy, and kenneth branagh, "dunkirk" was released in theatres on 21july 2017 to widespread critical acclaim and strong box office results, grossing over $525million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing world warii film of all time. in his review, mick lasalle of the "san francisco chronicle" wrote: "it's one of the best war films ever made, distinct in its look, in its approach and in the effect it has on viewers. there are movies—they are rare—that lift you out of your present circumstances and immerse you so fully in another experience that you watch in a state of jaw-dropped awe. "dunkirk" is that kind of movie." the film received eight nominations at the 71st british academy film awards; winning one for best sound, three at the 75th golden globes, and eight at the 90th academy awards, including best picture and best director (nolan's first oscar nomination for directing); winning three for best sound editing, best sound mixing, and best film editing. nolan was also nominated by the dga and pga, among other accolades.
