Hello all! I’ve been a Christopher Nolan fan since I saw Inception for the first time, but I’m also starting to see the flaws in his film making, especially in the way women are represented. This is especially clear in Oppenheimer, as this movie is based on actual facts and still he clearly under develops the female characters compared to their real life counterparts. I feel that this article gives a good and nuanced take on the issue and helped me reconcile the stuff I adore in his films with the clearly flawed and problematic parts.
I think the worst one has to be Tenet. Only one important character is a woman (the wife) and she spent the majority of the time being abused by the Russian…its very uncomfortable and I say it as a Nolan fan.
