Ep 123: Tenet

WHAT GOES AROUND GOES BACKWARDS AROUND AGAIN

It’s not easy to unpack and decode the complexities of Christopher Nolan’s TENET, but the Cinemondo gang gives it a shot and at least does their best to examine this fascinating film and understand what direction it’s going. Nolan’s films often play with the concept of time and other modes of experiencing it, but this one seems to be the most dependent on the idea of traveling in an unfamiliar timescale. Not unlike his earlier film MEMEMTO, we’re pulled along into a concept that makes sense, but only if you’re really paying attention. It’s a James Bond-style international heist with secrets and larger-than-life villains intent on destroying the world, and one of the weapons in this world is an ability to go backwards through time. What can you do with that? How can you use that ability to stop an armageddon? Join us for our attempt to figure out the puzzle that is TENET.
