I keep thinking of my interview with Vicki Peterson and Barbara Niccolosi. Many like and just about all respect what Christopher Nolan does, even if his stories lose their way halfway through. This is especially as Inception came out ten years ago. We readily remember images. It was wonderfully cut together. With the third installment of The Dark Knight Trilogy, Interstellar, and Dunkirk, the best war movie of the last ten years, we were braced for Tenet this summer. His films have a way of doubling back on themselves, like history repeating itself, or later events sure rhyme with what happens earlier in their stories, as the Mark Twain saying goes. Nolan sometimes seems barely in control of his narratives, which definitely reflect the time we're in. Tenet might work well today--the trailer sure seemed like another sprawled canvas outing for Nolan, another big tentpole epic from him, that will have to wait because he, nor we, control the narrative outside the film.
The Coronavirus has given us perspective, that some things, such as movies, and be derailed, and the "normal" we had before the SIP probably didn't exist, which ties back to Inception. So his movies, even if not perfect, still matter.
