Over the course of ten films spanning three decades, he has demonstrated that he can tell elaborate plots with a cinematic flair that not only strikes as though inspired by the history and art of cinema but also feels like a loving ode to that art and history. You can just as easily sit back and enjoy the film as a wildly insane popcorn blockbuster or recognize it as Nolan at his most absurdly "Nolanesque."Īnd this is where Nolan's true talent rests after all. On the other hand, it's to Nolan's credit that he somehow still manages to turn the most preposterous and absurdly convoluted into something engagingly entertaining and spectacularly mesmerizing. It also wouldn't hurt to watch with a knowledgeable understanding of physics or perhaps, with one's local theoretical physicist if they are available and willing to pause ever so often to explain the "W-T-F" moments throughout this 150-minute time-traveling ball of confusion. To fully grasp or appreciate the layers upon layers of themes piloting his latest visual extravaganza, repeat viewings are undoubtedly in order, which his most loyal fanbase is sure to do for the next few years. As with some of Christopher Nolan's films, Tenetis a baroque labyrinth of ideas either grounded in complex science or inspired by their possibilities.
