Florence Goes Atomic

Florence Pugh attends the UK Premiere of “Oppenheimer” at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on July 13, 2023 in London, England.

Oppenheimer exploded into cinemas as yet another feather in Christopher Nolan’s cap.

“It reminded me of the early days when I was used to a fast-paced way of working — where, if you lost a scene from the day, you would lose it from the movie,” Pugh told Radio Times. “It’s one of the biggest movies I’ve made. Chris’ approach is similar to indie movie-making.”

She added, “When I walked on set, I couldn’t believe there was that similar, incredible adrenaline, which I hadn’t felt on a massive movie for a long time. It’s a wonderful thing to inject into a film set — believing in yourself and what you’re making.”
