Great cinema has finally won: after a few years where the Oscar for best film, in the wake of political correctness, went to films undeserving of such success, the triumph in the main category was the very powerful Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan, one of the most important authors of contemporary cinema, who also took home an equally deserved statuette as best director.
Just to remind us what happened in the most recent past: two years ago the very weak won The signs of the heart – Codasurpassing far better films like the magnificent Licorice Pizza by Paul Thomas Anderson or the surprising Drive My Car by Ryusuke Hamaguchi, while in 2023 overrated won the main Oscar Everything Everywhere All at Oncebeating a memorable product like The Fabelmans di Steven Spielberg.
Christopher Nolan
Despite being a fundamental director of recent decades, it is incredibly the first time that the Oscars reward Christopher Nolan, author of films of great depth such as Memento, The Prestige o The dark Knight. The Oscar nomination for best film had already arrived with two other very notable titles such as Inception e Dunkirk, but it took the strength of Oppenheimer to obtain the coveted prize.
A great Oscar
After the least successful Tenet of 2020, Nolan outdid himself, taking inspiration from the biography “Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. The Triumph and Tragedy of a Scientist” by Kaj Bird and Martin J. Sherwin.
The director chose to tell the life of the famous American physicist, in particular, the invention of the first atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan project. The first biographical feature film in Nolan’s career, Oppenheimer it is first and foremost a film with a very strong moral depth, a film that does not want to give answers but wants to create questions in the viewer, making him enter the mind of an ambiguous and controversial character like Oppenheimer right from the first sequences.
