Stanley Kubrick was an American filmmaker who directed some of the most formally ambitious films in cinema history — '2001: A Space Odyssey', 'A Clockwork Orange', 'The Shining', 'Full Metal Jacket', 'Eyes Wide Shut' — working with total control and meticulous visual intelligence.
Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey' (1968) established the model for science fiction as philosophical cinema — precise, cold, and formally innovative — that directly influenced Nolan's 'Interstellar'. His general practice of total directorial control with studio backing is the model Nolan's career most closely follows.
