an elite international team to decipher
Christopher Nolan's latest mind-bender...
BREAKING
TENET 'S
GLOBAL CODE

by Shaun O'Banion
In The Tempest, William Shakespeare famously wrote: "What is past is prologue,"
meaning history sets the context for the present. Humans are essentially a
collection of past experiences moving ever-forward, using any knowledge gained
from those experiences to make decisions. Those decisions then create a ripple
effect reverberating outward, carrying us into our future.
With that in mind, there is perhaps no more apt place to dive into
Tenet,
the latest time-shiing blockbuster feature from writer-director Christopher
Nolan, than by looking back at how supervising location manager Janice Polley/
LMGI came to find herself siing in Nolan's garage working her way through an
incredibly complex dra of the script.
