Nolan is the perfect definition of:

“Dream so high that when you fail, you’ll fail above everybody else’s success.”

Tenet feels like exactly that.

He tried to make a $200M+ original blockbuster built around inverted time, practical effects, international espionage, nonlinear storytelling, and an action sequence where the audience has to understand events happening forwards and backwards simultaneously.

Did it work perfectly? No.

But even when Tenet “fails,” it fails at a scale and ambition that most filmmakers wouldn’t even dare attempt.
