Tenet (2020) Christopher Nolan
I don’t understand physics and I think I broke my brain watching Tenet.
Do you want to break your brain? Do you think you understand physics? I don’t understand physics and I think I broke my brain watching Tenet (2020) directed by Christopher Nolan. I’m so glad I watched the making of the documentary to help me understand. John David Washington is masterful as The Protagonist and the support cast is a heaping helping of talent and gravitas. At its core, this is a spy film with very dynamic action sequences that are made all the more remarkable when you know that there is rarely CG in any of Nolan’s films. What he does, he does for real and has amazing teams of designers, producers, and artists that unite behind his specific and precise vision. Not for the faint of heart or brain.
If you like movies with huge ideas and a director who expects you to keep up, watch High and Low next. Kurosawa isn’t bending time, but he is every bit as precise about what the camera shows you and how every piece of a thriller fits together. Read the review →
