Filmmaker Christopher Nolan has presented us with so many dark splendors and unsettling displays of destruction in his career. Now we have “Oppenheimer,” Nolan’s most haunted film to date, writes phillipstribune, starring pitch-perfect Cillian Murphy.

It stars a pitch-perfect Cillian Murphy as the thin man in the famously oversized fedora, with Nolan freely adapting Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin’s superb Oppenheimer 2006 biography “American Prometheus.” Nolan establishes back-and-forth timelines here, far less showily than in “Dunkirk.
Oppenheimer’s leftist beliefs made his rather unlikely leadership of the secret Los Alamos, New Mexico project during the war a dicey proposition, but one that his boss, Gen. Leslie Groves , sent through the channels. From a scientific and militarily strategic standpoint, it worked out beautifully; the U.S. got what it wanted, and it seemed a simple, momentous challenge.
