Abstract
Time is an object of study with a complicated level of complexity, understand time is closely related to periodization, history, and memory. Film is a medium for motion and time manifestation in visual products that captured by the human senses. Tenet (2020) is a film that manages the temporal dimension both in ideas and packaging through its cinematography and narrative structure. Tenet (2020) presents the idea of overlapping time consciousness of the past, present, and future. A revolving door machine in Tenet used to signify the paradox of determinism or the condition of the character being suffocated in a time loop. The form of aporia or deterministic indecision experienced by characters in Tenet reflects the dialogue of human consciousness on the dimension of time. Tenet presents a debate on two perspectives of human attitudes towards time, namely the modern perspective and the postmodern human being represented through the protagonist and the Sator. In a more ideological stage, Tenet becomes a film full of ambivalence in presenting a dialogue from the perspective of human attitudes towards that time. This is relevant to the perspective of metamodernism, namely the impossibility that continues to be pursued. All the agendas carried out by the Protagonist and Sator will eventually end in impossibility because they have been trapped in an endless time loop.
