| Résumé : | From Memento to Tenet, through a.o. Inception, the films of Christopher Nolan display even in their titles, many of which are one-word only, an interest for the Latin language. The content and script of his movies show that the director was trained in classical culture and is eager to cast a veil of mystery over his production by using Latin vocabulary. The filmmaker's latest opus, Tenet, is to date the most striking example of such a tendency: its enigmatic title, original subject and complex structure, together with the clues disseminated in the footage, are bringing to the big screen the text of the Sator square and the famous palindrome Sator Arepo tenet opera rotas. |
