Based on the manipulation of time, Tenet, Christopher Nolan's latest film is a puzzle even for the most discerning movie buff.
So, to help its audience better understand the plot, Warner decided to invite spectators to a second session… catch-up.
“An after-premiere” introduced by an explanatory conference led by three experts in cinema and physics.
“The first time, I understood 60% of the story,” says Joshua, eager to see Tenet again.
"There, it is potentially the opportunity to have answers to my questions which remained unanswered".
Sator's square, vice and temporal turnstile, inversion of the entropy of an object ... For his feature film, the British-American director requires his viewers to be attentive to each clue disseminated on the film in order to control the phenomena which direct the plot of the story.
Thanks to the second viewing, Rania managed to clarify certain passages: "Immediately, the pieces of the puzzle come together and we see the film with a zoom out effect, we understand the details better".
The fact remains that once they have left the room, everyone wishes to attend a third, or even a fourth session to polish their knowledge of Tenet.
"We may have had the time to conceptualize the film, it's still hard to understand," says Guillaume.
“Every time I see it, I feel like I'm developing theories, in theories, in theories,” Rania continues, excited by the prospect of learning more.
For her, "explaining the film is not necessarily necessary, you have to feel it to know what it means".
