Christopher Nolan: Inaudible Dialogues in 'Interstellar' Were Intended

It was not the audience or the theater's fault if some of the dialogues in "Interstellar" were inaudible. Director Christopher Nolan has come forward to explain why some of the lines were not easy to hear. It was deliberate.

"I've always loved films that approach sound in an impressionistic way and that is an unusual approach for a mainstream blockbuster, but I feel it's the right approach for this experiential film," Nolan told THR. Describing the sound mix as "adventurous and creative," the director said he didn't agree "with the idea that you can only achieve clarity through dialogue."

He explained further, "There are particular moments in this film where I decided to use dialogue as a sound effect, so sometimes it's mixed slightly underneath the other sound effects or in the other sound effects to emphasize how loud the surrounding noise is."

One of the scenes in discussion was when Michael Caine's character explained some important information to Jessica Chastain's. "We are following the emotional state of Jessica's character as she starts to understand what he's been saying. Information is communicated in various different ways over the next few scenes," Nolan said. "That's the way I like to work; I don't like to hang everything on one particular line."

Nolan was particularly grateful that the movie's sound was presented on theaters as he intended. "Interstellar" is on theaters now. It has just passed the $300 million mark at the global box office this weekend.
