On the most recent episode of The Rewatchables, none other than Quentin Tarantino stopped by to discuss Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk.” Tarantino explains that a third rewatch of Nolan’s WWI film catapulted it into the #2 slot on his Best if the Decade list. “It wasn’t until that third time where I was gauging it for [my best of the decade list], that I could finally see past the spectacle into the people, into the people of the story. I could finally see the forest for the trees,” he explained. “It’s a symphony, everything works,” Tarantino added, claiming it was also his favourite Nolan movie (“Batman Begins” is #2 and “The Prestige” #3). ”Dunkirk” also struck me as great movie on third viewing. The first two were hazier experiences, the multiples timelines consistently clashing into each other — but QT is right, once you get the gist of it all it’s an absolutely exhilarating experience. Perhaps we’ll be getting a Best of The Decade list from Tarantino, maybe even in the next month or so? He’s clearly working on a list since he’s specific where “Dunkirk” ranks. Contribute Hire me
