FILM 1766: INSOMNIA

TRIVIA: As of 2017, this is the only film directed by Christopher Nolan in which Nolan does not have an official writing credit - even though he wrote the final draft of the screenplay himself.

Although primarily known for comedic roles, this is one of two thrillers in which Robin Williams starred in the same year. The other was One Hour Photo (2002).

Will Dormer's name comes from the French and Spanish word "dormir" - to sleep.

Insomnia (2002), Dunkirk (2017) and Following (1998) are the only movies directed by Christopher Nolan that are not listed in IMDb's Top 250 as of 2018. His other 7 movies are among the best 250 movies ever made as voted by IMDb users.

This film stars three Academy Award winners: Al PacinoHilary Swank, and Robin Williams.
