Oppenheimer Is The Culmination Of Christopher Nolan’s Filmmaking Career

Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated biopic of the father of the atomic bomb, Oppenheimer, has finally arrived in theaters, and it didn’t disappoint. This is a mesmerizing moviegoing experience, a profound cinematic achievement, and one of the greatest films of the year so far. Oppenheimer feels like the culmination of Nolan’s entire filmmaking career. It has the parallel color/black-and-white timelines of Memento, the complex duality of The Dark Knight trilogy, the rich history of Dunkirk, the profundity of Inception and Interstellar, and the engrossing nonlinear storytelling of The Prestige. Oppenheimer cherry-picks all the greatest parts of Nolan’s filmography for a mind-blowing celluloid cocktail.
