The latest feature from director Christopher Nolan once again dives into the world of science, following in the footsteps of the likes of his emotional odyssey Interstellar and action spectacle Tenet. It's something the filmmaker has long been fascinated by, so it's no surprise that J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, would be a subject matter he'd explore.
Oppenheimer therefore thrusts us into the world of the physicist, as we explore the events of his life and the crucial role he played in the development of nuclear weapons. It therefore wasn't a shock to me to find myself sat behind none other than Professor Brian Cox at the press screening, who has since tweeted that he believes the film to be a "masterpiece". However, those of us who don't have scientific minds (like myself who lasted a week on A-level physics) shouldn't fear as Nolan ensures, as ever, that it is all accessible.
