TENET: Drive-In Cinema in London

tenet-triplet-one-Sl-VE

When: December 2020 - January 2021

Where: Troubadour Meridian Water, Harbet Road, Edmonton, London, N18 3QQ

One for the sci-fi nerds amongst us...

Chris Nolan returned to the big screen this year with his long-awaited film, Tenet (Spoiler alert - for those of you reading this who haven't already seen it, look away now).

Starring John David Washington as the protagonist, Robert Pattinson, Eliza Debicki and Kennneth Branagh as the evil Russian guy, the film is a super twisted, time manipulating, espionage thriller depicting the tale of a secret organisation known only as 'Tenet'. Their mission - to prevent the world from being destroyed. 

An intense film with an extremely intense soundtrack from one of the best film producers in modern history. We highly recommend heading out to the drive-in cinema for this one.

Minds will be blown. Mark our words.
