Francis Ford Coppola says Barbenheimer is “a victory for cinema”

Barbie and Oppenheimer enjoyed a hugely anticipated dual release this month (July 21), with huge box office returns.While answering questions from fans on his Instagram page, Coppola was asked about the two films, and he said it sets a shining example for cinema.“I have yet to see them, but the fact that people are filling big theaters to see them and that they are neither ‘sequels’ nor ‘prequels’… no number attached to them meaning they are true one-off’s is victory for Cinema,” he said.Oppenheimer, directed by Christopher Nolan, scored a glowing five-star review from NME‘s Paul Bradshaw, who wrote: “Not just the definitive account of the man behind the atom bomb, Oppenheimer is a monumental achievement in grown-up filmmaking. For years, Nolan has been perfecting the art of the serious blockbuster – crafting smart, finely-tuned multiplex epics that demand attention; that can’t be watched anywhere other than in a cinema, uninterrupted, without distractions.
