It feels like what the story should always be.” It’s hard to explain that mechanism exactly. We’re really pushing against that in the film, and trying to find the suspense, the fun, the excitement, the incredible relationships… I think the underlying darkness is undeniable. “I think I’ve done something in a similar vein with Oppenheimer in that the darkness of the story is so inherent in just what the atomic bomb is, and what it’s meant for the world. It’s so extreme, that what I decided to do in the telling of it was to really play against that, and have relatively anonymous characters in not specifically emotional situations, to make an objectively intense film, trusting that the emotion of the story is so great that it would actually be sort of, in a way, magnified by that. When I was making Dunkirk, I knew, as a British person, the freighted emotion of that story, of that sort of national story that we have, that you grow up with.

In Tenet, Nolan truly outdoes himself and goes for a plot that’s a little too difficult to comprehend, perhaps even for himself. Visualizing mathematical concepts, playing around with the physics of time and space, and exploring the psychological effects of existentialism on the human brain are only a few Nolan staples, and whether he’s making a film about the cruelly apathetic nature of deep space or delving into the brain of one of the most infamous inventors in human history, you can be sure that some of those tropes will find their way into the script. ![]() It’s not that the acclaimed British filmmaker actually sets out to confuse his audience, but his work more often than not ends up involving intricate scientific and philosophical topics that you don’t necessarily find in other movies, even if they happen to be in the speculative fiction spectrum. a ( Christopher Nolan ) Film ( Insomnia ) With : Robin Williams - Al Pacino - Hilary Swank - Martin Donovan - Crystal Lowe - Paul Dooley - Nicky Katt - Larry Holden - Jay Brazeau Trailer 2002.
