Not at all. It actually all started with Inception's Polyester Carpet scene where nobody knew what the fuck Watanabe was saying because of the mix.except for 2 moments in Interstellar what else is there?
I think it's becoming a meme.
Then came TDKR where the initial Preview events of the plane scene had nobody able to understand a fucking thing Tom Hardy said - which resulted in Nolan incorporating some of the worst ADR / sound mixing ever by "fixing" it in a way where Hardy's dialogue sounded completely disconnected from the environment he was in. Theatres had to post notices outside the cinemas explaining that there was nothing wrong with their audio, that it was the film's sound mix.
Then Interstellar had Zimmer's (admittedly incredible) score drown out dialogue so many times that theatres ended up having to do the exact same thing to the point that all the trades started reporting on it in preview screenings. You couldn't hear a damn thing My Cocaine was saying as he died because the mix was so poor - favouring Zimmer's booming soundtrack.
And now you have quite a bit of the same in Dunkirk. If it's a meme, it's one that Nolan keeps perpetuating himself.
