Oppenheimer (2023)
Description
Oppenheimer immediately established itself as one of the most important films in recent cinema. And after multiple viewings and further analysis, that belief has only grown stronger.
Christopher Nolan has created far more than an entertaining and visually extraordinary epic about the brilliant scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer, whose work helped develop the atomic bomb that the United States ultimately used against Japan during the final days of the Second World War. This is also a film about opening the proverbial tube of toothpaste—releasing something that can never be put back—and forever changing the world as we know it.
Nolan’s masterful direction, the brilliant performances from the entire ensemble—including Cillian Murphy in the title role, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, and many others—the exceptional cinematography and editing, and a story that remains as relevant today as ever all combine to make Oppenheimer a truly special, haunting, and powerful cinematic achievement.
But looking back, was Oppenheimer truly deserving of the Best Picture Oscar among all the films released in 2023?
Listen and find out what film critic Jack Ferdman thinks—and which film he ultimately chooses as his Rewatching Oscar winner for the year.
