Oppenheimer (I) (2023)
10/10
Masterpiece of pure filmmaking
23 August 2023
The most perfect example of "show, don't tell" in a movie that is basically dialogue. But the way it shows the main characters, the amazing camera work, editing, sound design, music...it all fits perfectly to put us in the moment that the characters are living.

On top of that , the absolute dominion over the timeline, jumping back and forth in time, demonstrates the way Nolan is the master of cinematic narrative.

Fortunately I watched it on an IMAX screen and I can tell it's exactly the way was meant to be seen.

It might be underwhelming if you're expecting big "fireworks", but the emotional roller coaster of each moment of the film totally makes up for the lack of explosions. And even "the big one" is shot in a way that is much more powerful than any regular "boom".

Overall it's an incredible biopic, political thriller and human drama as it can be.

Every film fan should watch this movie at least once in the biggest screen with the best sound available.

A true modern masterpiece.
