Plot

"Tarantella" was an early Super 8 short film directed by Christopher Nolan with his childhood friend Roko Belic. It was made in 1989 while Nolan was studying at University College London.

Sinekatalog’s take

A very early home-made short from a now-famous director, shot on Super 8 with a friend. It is raw and experimental, valued mainly as a curiosity. Interesting chiefly to fans tracing his beginnings.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
