'Oppenheimer': Christopher Nolan Explains the 'Essential' Sex Scenes
As his latest film blasts into theaters this week, Christopher Nolan braces for impact, explaining why he felt Oppenheimer's sex scenes were "essential" in providing a fully-rounded portrait of its subject, and sharing why he felt nervous shooting them. The film follows the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the man oft donned "the father of the atomic bomb", and leader of the Manhattan Project during World War II.
While one of the most popular and well-known directors working today, Nolan's twelfth feature-length directorial effort is still marking a number of firsts in the director's career; Oppenheimer is the first film to be shot in IMAX while using black-and-white film, as well as the director's first biopic.
Nolan said, "Any time you’re challenging yourself to work in areas you haven’t worked in before, you should be appropriately nervous and appropriately careful and planned and prepared," though soon found he was comforted by the talent he had cast in the film. Of Pugh, the director explained "I met with her and immediately felt a creative connection.
