Christopher Nolan and his Oppenheimer, the Cannes gaffe and the apologies

Christopher Nolan, a name, a guarantee. The director is about to offer the public a new film, the fans are anxiously awaiting ‘Oppenheimer’.

Guarantee of quality and success, as we said, Christopher Nolan signs feature films that never leave us indifferent: loved, criticized, often poorly understood. It is now the turn of a new film that we are sure will once again be packed in theaters.

Nolan’s style is unmistakable, like a valuable work of art, a film by the British director can be recognized immediately. His films often deal with themes related to revenge, deceit, inner torment, set in alternative realities, dragging the viewer himself on real journeys.

Oppenheimer, a controversial protagonist of history comes to the cinema

Christopher Nolan’s next film is called ‘Oppenheimer’, clearly his character is Robert Oppenheimer, a controversial protagonist of history, due to his studies which led to the discovery linked to the atomic bomb, and therefore to the massacres of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A tragedy that changed history and the whole world forever. The film is Nolan’s 12th film. A detail on the story of this film is that, to convince Nolan to carry on the project, would have been the colleague and friend M Night Shyamalan.

The lead actor of the film is Cilian Murphy who will play Robert Oppenheimer, Emily Blunt is his wife, the biologist and botanist Katherine ‘Kitty’ Oppenheimer. Matt Damon instead plays General Leslie Groves Jr. Director of the Manhattan Project and Lewis Strauss, founding commissioner of the Atomic Energy Commission in the United States, bears the face of Robert Downey Jr. A stellar cast, as always,

actors of a certain caliber flock to Nolan’s films.

The fool of the director of the Cannes Film Festival

Thierry Fremaux, the director of the Cannes Film Festival, in a recent interview with Variety had declared that Nolan’s latest effort would be released at the end of 2023, thus leaving it to be understood that he would not have made it in time for Cannes 2023, which is why he would not have been included in the official program of the Festival. Universal has instead confirmed in recent days that the film will be released as scheduled on July 21st. The director of the Festival, of course, subsequently apologized for having created this false alarm.

The film is naturally one of the most anticipated of 2023, in addition to the story itself, and what can certainly intrigue a figure as controversial as Robert Oppenheimer, there is also the Nolan factor, to be calculated. In fact, there is a lot of expectation to understand what dynamics the director used to be able to face such a dramatic and important moment in history. So let us wait, sure not to be disappointed once again.
