Tenet

“Time has come for a new protagonist” reads the teaser for Tenet, Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film set in the world of international espionage. Beyond this 40-second trailer – which was leaked online over the summer then swiftly taken down – very little is known about the inventive auteur’s latest project, other than that it is an action-thriller starring Robert Pattinson, John David Washington, Elizabeth Debicki and Clémence Poésy. Information about the movie may be scant but, given the excellence of the film-maker’s oeuvre, from the stunning sci-fi saga Interstellar to the mind-warping interlocking dreamscapes of Inception, anticipation is sky-high. If this movie is anything like Nolan’s previous ones, expect flawless special effects propelled by a thought-provoking, futuristic plot recounted in an episodic narrative that bends the concept of time.
