Oppenheimer 2023

Like Barbie, this movie has been written about a ton already. I think it’s genuinely impressive that a talkey movie, half in black and white, that works as a biopic and a condemnation of the American government, could become so popular. And that’s due to Nolan’s excellent directing, which finally feels purposeful instead of just self-imitation. I’ve often criticized how he tries to play with narrative structures and chronology just for the sake of doing so, but here everything is done intentionally. The spliced narrative puts Nolan into the room, giving the camera an actual perspective on the events taking place. And yes, the technicals are just as high quality as you would expect, from the stunning cinematography to the booming sound.
