Christopher Nolan finally earned his first Oscars trophy, a long-awaited recognition for his craft. The award had eluded the director of memorable films like Memento, Interstellar, Dunkirk, and Tenet for years. Oppenheimer stands as Nolan’s debut foray into biography, his most expansive and perhaps most audacious project yet. The three-hour epic unfolds with a pace that many big-budget productions would envy, especially since most of its scenes are grounded in dialogue among scientists, policymakers, and key figures. The film aligns with Nolan’s broader filmography, resonating with familiar textures and themes while charting new territory in scope and ambition.
