The director has often woven stories about parents (specifically fathers) and their relationship with their kids into most of his films. While speaking with The Guardian, Chris Nolan talked about the guilt he feels while leaving his kids to direct a movie and how that’s fed into his work as a filmmaker, especially “Interstellar”:

“There is a lot of guilt for that. A lot of guilt. The very sadness of saying goodbye to people is a massive expression of the love you feel for them. For me, [‘Interstellar’] is really about being a father.”- The Dark Knight director went on- “The sense of your life passing you by and your kids growing up before your eyes. Very much what I felt watching Richard Linklater’s ‘Boyhood,’ an extraordinary film, which is weirdly doing the same thing in a completely different way. We are all engaged in the biggest mystery of all, which is just living through time.“
