Tenet

Tom Shone, one of the first journalists to ever interview Christopher Nolan, noticed a remarkable habit of the filmmaker's during their meeting. He opened the menu of the restaurant where they met from the back. The director, who reveals little personal about himself, confessed to him that he was left-handed and did the same with magazines.

Shone couldn't help but point out to him the structure of "Memento," which they had agreed to talk about. Exactly, Nolan agreed with him, he had wondered what it was like to tell a movie backwards. Who knows if that's when he conceived the idea for "Tenet," in which time incessantly changes direction? In it, its reversal represents the greatest threat to humanity, more devastating than its extinction by nuclear war. Nolan's nameless protagonist (John David Washington) must disarm a weapon in the present that will be invented in the future. But how do you fight adversaries who move in a different time dimension? Each exchange of blows is a masterpiece of choreography. No doubt about it: a mindfuck told in such a fast-paced way that seeing it once is not enough.
