It comes out this Wednesday, August 26 and is not to be missed in theaters. Gentside gives you 5 reasons to watch the convoluted Tenet, of the famousChristopher Nolan.
Its release date has been pushed back three times. In a deadly summer for the film industry due to the health crisis , the new movie Tenet of Christopher Nolan is expected as the "messiah". With its colossal budget of 205 million dollars, it is the first blockbuster scale to take the step of the theatrical release this summer. And this spy thriller , featuring a protagonist tasked with saving the world by resorting to "temporal reversal", is definitely worth a shot. We explain why.
There is only Christopher Nolan to make us apprehend concepts of physics by entertaining us, as evidenced by Inception or the newer Interstellar . Once again, the British director returns to his favorite theme, time , but we will not tell you more. It should also make you think more about the term "palindrome" , but there again, motus and mouth-sewn.
This is often where the shoe pinches for a lot of blockbusters . Even if Nolan uses the classic codes of the spy film — the director says it himself, this work is a tribute to James Bond — he has a way of making it all that much more complex. We make knots in the brain to try to follow . Better warn you, no question of looking down from the screen if only for the popcorn, at the risk of getting lost in the meanders of its multiple-drawer scenario .
This is the enigmatic and charismatic second role , who handles the strings of the plot with talent. If we were looking forward to him in his role again Batman hungry for revenge — happy coincidence, knowing that Christopher Nolan worked on vigilante adventures for a long time — his time in Secret Agent Neil's garb has plenty to keep us waiting. Special mention also for Michael Caine . Finding your British phlegm the time of a pleasurable sequence, it's nice.
Attack, explosion of a life-size 747 plane without special effects — only 300 shots would include them in the film compared to 1,500 on productions of this type — chase of cars in reverse... For 2h30, we are amazed by our eyes and ears . And after almost six months of cinema scarcity, it feels good. What make us want to see it again... maybe also, we admit, to better understand the ins and outs of the story?
Highly anticipated, Tenet is a "test" since it is the first of its kind to be released , while the cinema industry is currently suffering the backlash of the coronavirus crisis. In France, cinema attendance collapsed by 73.8% in July compared to last year . If success is there, all the studios will not hesitate to release their films , whose dates had been postponed for security or because they will finally be broadcast on streaming platforms .
