The aim of this study focuses on the construction of cinematographic narratives, more specifically in the film Dunkirk (2017), by the filmmaker Christopher Nolan, which has a non-linear construction, characterized as puzzle film. The empirical object of the study presents three different temporal lines, from three distinct characters, but which are included in the same story. The story repeats itself and the actions are shown on the screen more than once, with different perspectives. In this context, the research seeks to recognize and how a non-linear narrative is constructed. To understand this construction, a theoretical survey was made with specifications of different types of cinematographic narratives.
