If You were the Camera-man...

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2020)

1917's overlooked color, light, and set design lulls you into a subtle hypnotic trance that mesmerizes you throughout the entire film. The grand feat of Roger Deakon's cinematography evokes firsthand tension through secondhand meticulously visual storytelling. Though the minimal character building keeps the film from being an emotional classic, the extensive world building and methodical shooting techniques of 1917 will set a precedent for all future wartime epics.
