I was uncertain whether I loved or hated Christopher Nolan’s latest blockbuster
Tenet, now I’m not so sure. I attended a matineé screening of Tenet at a packed
out London IMAX, last Saturday, Covid, Schmovid. We began with a trailer for the
latest Bond movie, which confidently announced that the release will take place
in April 2020. That set the tone for the evening.
The title Tenet is a palindrome, a word that meets itself coming back, rather
like this film, in reverse. In the first of a series of set pieces, or
Immersibles as Kubrick, Nolan’s hero, called them, Tenet opens with a terrorist
attack on a concert hall, opera house? One of the SWAT team sent to deal with the
mayhem gruffly interrogates another in Polish: “What are you doing here?”
A traditional Polish term for action thrillers is “They killed him but he ran
away”. We first meet our anti-hero/hero The Protagonist, being sent on a
Mission Improbable - Halfway Back to the Future. Tenet is full of clever and
obscure references and devices, too clever by half, for some. The last ten
minutes feature action that goes forwards and backwards, or Tenet in a word.
Nolan pays full tribute to the King of Spies - in Dr No, Goldfinger and Diamonds
are Forever. Nolan is blessed with the best cinematographer in the business in
Hoyte van Hoytema, working with a staggering array of cameras and lenses, the
results distilled into the format that reigns supreme above all others. Dare I
call it TRUMAX?
He is equally blessed with a strong cast led by John David Washington, a
powerful charismatic and compelling screen presence, mysteriously dubbed The
Protagonist. Robert Pattinson, plays Neil, amazingly mercurial, a double agent,
maybe? His performance starts off firmly in Jude Law territory and ends up in
Sean Connery land. Elizabeth Debicki, a real class act, as Kat the patrician
wife of Andrei Sator, a heavy vodka sipping Russian Oligarch, as well as a
clever anagram, torn from Central Casting by that great, veteran war horse
Kenneth Brannagh, hardly wasted this time. Michael Caine, is looking worryingly
fragile, but very welcome in his traditional cameo.
What the hell is Tenet about? A clue may be gleaned from the palindromic title.
The concept of time travel is nothing new, but time travelling backwards and
forwards at the same time? Or is it the other way round? Maybe Nolan should have
filmed and screened it two strip Cinerama with one reel running backwards at the
same time as one running forwards, or the other way round. Does the 2 and half
hours running time feel more like five hours? Maybe in half the time. Oh yes, I
forgot, it’s a spy movie. Or is it yps? Goodness me! Is that the time.
