10kposts Film Club: TENET (2020) ft. Sufiyaan Salam

This week, novelist and screenwriter Sufiyaan Salam comes onto the pod to talk about TENET, Christopher Nolan’s take on the spy thriller genre that continues to confuse audiences. Hussein and Sufiyaan talk about TENET as Nolan’s passion project, how his take on time travel makes the film unique, and whether you can watch a film to experience it, without thinking about it too much. Sufiyaan also talks about his debut novel, WIMMY ROAD BOYZ and gives an insight into his writing process, and the way that anarchic social media platforms informed the stylistic choices that has made his novel one of the most anticipated of the year.
