Description
Whenever Christopher Nolan takes on a project as a director, it is understood that the final product will be a true spectacle, destined for the largest theatrical screen possible. From his smaller indie roots with “Following” (1998), “Memento” (2000), and “Insomnia” (2002), to his game-changing “Dark Knight” trilogy (2005-2012), to his mind-bending sci-fi dramas like “Inception” (2010) and “Interstellar” (2014), to his historical war epic with “Dunkirk” (2017), Nolan is certainly one of the most influential filmmakers of the last quarter-century. Perhaps more than anything, Nolan’s fixation with the manipulation of time and non-linear storytelling is his most notable trademark. With his latest feature as both director and screenwriter, “Tenet“, Nolan somehow manages to outdo every complicated bit of temporal modification that has ever been introduced into his filmography, for better or for worse.
