In ‘Oppenheimer,’ Christopher Nolan builds a thrilling, serious blockbuster for adults

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Christopher Nolan has never been one to take the easy or straightforward route while making a movie. “We want to see everything through Oppenheimer’s point of view,” Nolan said. “Oppenheimer” is Nolan’s first R-rated film since 2002’s “Insomnia,” which after years of working exclusively in PG-13, he’s comfortable with. “We’re dealing with the most serious and adult story you could imagine — very important, dramatic events that changed the world and defined the world we live in today,” Nolan said. “Everyone needs to kind of match Chris’ excellence, or want to.” When it came to recreating the Trinity test, Oppenheimer’s chosen name for the first nuclear detonation, art and life blended in a visceral way.
