On July 21, 2023, their two movies came out, and instead of cannibalizing one another during a time when box office receipts were sluggish, they actually boosted each other, creating the global phenomenon known as “Barbenheimer.” On paper, the two movies couldn’t be more different.

Christopher Nolan films are never easy, are they? Whether it’s the metaphysics of Interstellar, the subconscious weaving of Inception, or Tenet‘s palindromic rules, they’re complex narratives that often require multiple viewings to unpack.
