Comfort Films 115: Interstellar (2014)

  • Summary

  • To celebrate Fathers' Day in June, we're turning our attention to a pair of films about dads and time travel. (It's a niche, but there are more options than you think!) For our first selection, we're going with Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, which combines complex theoretical physics concepts with a deeply emotional story of a father and daughter, whose bond crosses time and space to quite literally save the world. We do our best as liberal arts kids to discuss the work of physicist Kip Thorne, wormholes, black holes, the effects of the relativity of time on space travel, and time as a physical dimension, while we also explore topics closer to our comfort zone, like the implicit humanism in Hans Zimmer's beautiful score, Matthew McConaughey's deeply emotional turn as Cooper, and Jonathan Nolan's beautifully balanced screenplay. Prepare to board the Endurance and cross the universe with us!
