Billboard: The new of Angelina Jolie and Glenn Close and all the movie premieres of the week
Awards: Five Reasons Not to Miss Nomadland, an Oscar Movie
$ 200 million
budget,
an Oscar
for Best Visual Effects, a twisty plot and a top-notch show with tons of action.
Those (and many more) are the key points that define
Tenet
(Movistar + and VOD rental),
Christopher Nolan's
latest madness
.
We analyze the virtues of this
blockbuster
without falling into the
spoiler
.
A PLOT FULL OF SURPRISES
Telling what
Tenet
is
about
is
almost a hieroglyph
.
Starting because the main character (played by
John David Washington
) has no name and ending with an ending that takes us directly to the beginning of the story,
Tenet
is a game in which each viewer decides how much they want to enjoy.
Past and future intermingle in a story in which El Protagonista (Washington) must
end a 'secret war'
or 'something worse than World War III', as explained in the first minutes.

Right, Jack Cutmore-Scott, John David Washington and Robert Pattinson.
A battle that someone has organized from a sinister future and that takes place in the present, where The Protagonist seems the only one capable of stopping that plan.
On his side he will have Kat (
Elizabeth Debicki
) and the enigmatic Neil (
Robert Pattinson
).
And, head on, the evil Sator (
Kenneth Branagh
), an ambitious, selfish and abusive millionaire.
NOLAN, TIME IN YOUR HANDS
Bullets that shoot out of the hole in which they were housed, soldiers that move backwards or characters who meet 'another' version of themselves are some of the tricks present in this story.
Since filming
Memento
(with two timelines, one backward and one forward),
Christopher Nolan
has shown a special
interest in playing with time
.
The film has had a 200 million dollar budget.
He played with him in
Origin
, causing
confusion in many viewers
, he continued in
Interstellar
, taking advantage of the complexity that black holes offer at a scientific level and in
Dunkirk he
made several stories that happened in minutes, hours or days seem to happen at the same time.
In
Tenet
, the British filmmaker once again bewilders by
mixing a spy story with time travel.
"Don't try to understand it; feel it," is heard in one scene.
And it may be the best possible advice.
THAT THE RHYTHM DOES NOT STOP
If something has
Tenet
is rhythm.
Sometimes the sheer number of action scenes, the characters involved, and their role in a
high-scale conspiracy can be misleading
.
And to exhaust the most patient.
But this is
Nolan, a conjurer who knows how to take advantage of spectacular action scenes
(here, one that happens in an airport and another on a highway are two moments) together with a script full of twists and surprises.
Christopher Nolan gives instructions to John David Washington.
To get an idea that we are facing a blockbuster, you only have to see the locations in countries such as Estonia, India, the USA, Italy, Norway, England or Denmark.
Not surprisingly, the
budget soared to $ 200 million
.
Nolan released the film in theaters in September and many in the industry applauded his
bravery in releasing his film in theaters
when the pandemic was emptying (or closing) these spaces around the world.
As an award, the film has grossed more than $ 360 million in theaters and just recently won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects.
ONE STAR, TWO STARS, THREE STARS ...
John David Washington
, who
plays
The Protagonist, has participated in films such as
Infiltrated in the KKKlan
or
Malcolm & Mariey
and is the son of
Denzel Washington.
He is supported by Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Kenneth Branagh, Aaron Taylor-Johnson
and a regular Nolan collaborator such as the great Michael Caine.
Stars with a prominent role within a complex plot.
The film has a careful photography.
To these should be added
Ludwig Göransson
, a Swede who has composed the soundtrack and has in his history with works in
The Mandalorian
and
Black Panther
.
Unlike other productions directed by Nolan, in
Tenet
there is no
Hans Zimmer.
WOMEN TO POWER
Among the many flaws that his critics attribute to
Christopher Nolan
is the large male presence, almost always in expensive suits.
Too much testosterone, they say.
Well, although the protagonists in
Tenet
are men, women play a great role.
Above all, the character of
Elizabeth Debicki
, who moves the action and, in theory, is the axis around which the whole plot turns, being closely related to all the characters.
Elizabeth Debicki is a woman in trouble in 'Tenet'.
Also, a certain female engineer El Protagonista talks to reveals herself as the brain of a company instead of a man everyone thinks is in charge.
Something like that happened with
Interstellar
, with
Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway
or with that same actress and
Christian Bale
in
The Dark Knight Rises
.
