19. Christopher Nolan's Own Breathing Is Featured On The Musical Score - Tenet

Composer Ludwig Göransson opted to incorporate Nolan's own breathing into the soundtrack, by having the filmmaker breathe heavily into a microphone which he then manipulated digitally.

The result is a discomforting rasp most apparent on the track "Sator," named of course after Kenneth Branagh's terrifying villain.
